I finally installed the Chromium browser in Fedora
Chromium — the community build of the Google Chrome browser (is that even the right way to refer to the project?) — isn't in the Fedora repositories, but you can get it.
I'm still feeling my way around Fedora 13, and while I've added the RPM Fusion and Adobe repositories, I'm still proceeding slowly with a great many things.
One thing I finally did do was add Chromium. I did it with the Spot repository for Chromium from Fedorapeople. I added the fedora-chromium.repo file to my /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, as instructed in the file itself. Then I used PackageKit to add Chromium. Easy as heat-and-serve pie.
So what if you already have Flash installed for Firefox and want it to work in Chromium, too? The instructions on how to make that happen aren't exactly compatible with the way this particular Chromium package is installed in Fedora 13. I'll have to look into this further to fine-tune the suggested symbolic link.
