This is annoying. I've got a user who needs chrome installed. I google, and find there's a google.repo. I rpm --import the signing key... and cannot find *where* on google.com I can install their own repo from. Every hit that looks even vaguely close tells me "edit /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo.
I don't want to manually create one, I want *theirs*.
Clues for the poor?

you can download the google-chrome rpm from their website. It installs a cron job that runs daily and creates and makes sure the /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo is correct.

Ewww... you mean I have to d/l the chrome rpm, yum localinstall it, and *then* it creates google.repo? That's *ugly*, if true. And, of course, there's no way to get support. I can't tell if I have to create a google email account (which I don't want) to get into the support groups, and I don't see any way to just send an email to any kind of support.

Where do you find a Chrome package that works on Centos? Google seems to provide only Fedora, not Centos, binaries. All I can find for Centos is Chromium.

Hi. I think to remember that I went to Google's website (with Firefox on a CentOS 6.2 desktop) and I either searched for google chrome or Google suggested it to me. Regards, Jesus
