Google Chrome on Slackware based Vector Linux
I thought this might be of interest to a wider audience than just VectorLinux so what better place to get the word out there than linuxquestions.org
Google Chrome is a hot topic right now, but for those of us who use Slackware based systems, Google is not providing any easy solutions.
Then brokndodge a member of the VectorLinux community made a script that made installing Google Chrome easy.
Here is a screencast of the script in action.
Google Chome install script on www.opensourcebistro.com
Here is the script.
Code:
#! /bin/bash

# Version: 0.0.4
#
# Special thanks to the following Vectorians for their help and suggestions:
# Daniel stretchedthin uelsk8ts
# hata_ph rbistolfi MOE-lnx
#
# Very Special thanks to the folks at Chromium.org and Google
# without whom there wouldn't be anything to install

I'd be interested in hearing if brokndodge's script works for other Slackware user's
Once you have the first script ran and Google Chrome installed then this script can keep you updated with the latest version.
