Well, sort of.

I have the 7.3 mb ChromeInstaller.exe file if someone has a place to put it for everyone to access. Seems that every link I clicked on was either a dead link or a link to the smaller kb file that won't work.

I DOWNLOADED THIS FILE VIA WINDOWS.

E-mail me or respond here with a location to upload the file to and I will get the file uploaded. I don't have a file sharing site that I use.

As far as I could find out, the best way to get Chrome installed, is to use a full .exe installation file and tweak your wine with this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=908493&page=5

You can use the 7mb install in the above mentioned method..

I'm just curious, at this point why would somone try and run it on wine instead of using the linux version?

also wondering, as chrome was based on chromium, why not just use chromium and skip the windows version, and wine? or is this the same question as the one above me?

why not use the version for Ubuntu? it is in the repos. I use it and it works fine. they actually have two versions, chrome and chromium. both are basicly the same really.

if you don't want to use the repos go here :
