Johnny,
Your build of the later chromiums works great on CO 6.6 (not withstanding
the no built in flash support). What would it take to get these into a more
timely release schedule? And into a more "standard" repository (e.g. EPEL)?
Or, do you have relatively cookbookish build instructions? (Or, has someone
already done this?)
Thanks again for what you've done.
