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.
