I tried this yesterday on my 32 bit 5.4 box, installed xdg, removed lsb and
installed the F10 lsb which is 3.2 or higher. This alone doesn't seem to
break anything as such so I then installed the google-chrome-beta rpm. This
installed OK now but when I ran chrome I got this 'libexpat.so.1 not found'
5.4 has version 0.5.0 of this. I stopped here, it looks as though CentOS is
just to far behind the edge for Chrome
