Comments:       -When Chromium asks you about making it the default browser
just click don't ask again.

-msttcorefonts is recommended. You can get them here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=4297.0

-dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz is an alternative.

Note about fonts: Fonts selected is used when rendering web pages. That's why they are recommended.
However changing font has no effect currently. So you don't really need fonts. But fonts are good :D   

For Xfce4 users:
-Chromium can now make itself the default browser.
-xdg-utils.tcz is recommend. (This is needed to detect and launch preferred applications.)

-Remember chromium for linux is still in beta stage. So it has known
issues. For example there are reported flashplayer crashes.

-Also note that this is not Google Chrome. This is Chromium, the open
source project behind Google Chrome. Chrome is the official build of
Google. To see the differences between Chromium and Chrome:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome

-One of the best features of Chromium is the extensions. Extensions
can be reached from the main menu. Note that some extensions are
not yet supported on linux.

-The other nice feature is the themes. You can download and install themes or
even create yourself. Options->Personal Stuff->Appearance click "Get themes"

-How to create themes:

This is built from source for i686.

Conflicts with chromium-browser.tcz

Important Note: nss-nspr.tcz is updated. Make sure you have the updated one.
To find it out open up a terminal and run the command:
"find /usr/local/lib | grep libsoftokn3.so | xargs ldd | grep sqlite3"
If there is no output then you have to update nss-nspr.tcz first.

This extension is PPI compatible.

[Arslan S.]

this build should be able to run on older machines (pentium pro, pentium II, pentium III etc)
report back if any failure occurs  

[^thehatsrule^]

Isn't the pentium i586?

[Arslan S.]

Isn't the pentium i586?

i am not very good at cpu architectures i think pentium pro is i686 maybe pentium mmx too ?

edit: pentium mmx is i586, pentium pro and later is i686

Removed from the repo by request as the latest chromium is now i686 compliant.
