The Chromium source distribution should contain a shell script to start Chromium. Google's official builds include this in /opt/google/chrome and hardlink it to /usr/bin/google-chrome to start the browser. This is done as part of the build process even for non-official builds, so it's very strange you don't have it. You can find the wrapper script in the Chromium source distribution here: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/tools/build/linux/chrome-wrapper?view=markup Simply copy it to the main Chrome directory and then hardlink it to /usr/bin. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
