Works great, and fast!

Just one question though, is
--disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000

really needed? or is it part of the root user fix?

Not really needed. It is an attempt to limit the disc cache that Cromium creates by using command line switches that are supposed to work, but so far have not. Please remember to empty the disc cache via the GUI or it can grow to huge sizes.

Dave S is correct--not really needed, but we found early on that without it we had some trouble with the Chromium cache eating up the entire lupusave file. As I recall that was especially the case with videos???

I have found this Chromium 14 to be unstable when starting up. Sometimes it fails to open any page. I am trying different combinations of the opening page to see if that can be eliminated. Currently I am using Preferences -> Open the Home Page and Home page = www.google.com. I am guessing that it what it wants to do ;-) Plus, it seems that when you make changes tot he opening page, it might crash completely the next time you open it.

I too have the problem that nothing happens when I click on the menu option or browse icon. (Puppy 525 frugal)

What do I type to make it run from the Terminal?

Typing the following into terminal with chrome 14 install in Puppy 528

Code: Select all

exec /usr/lib/chrome-linux/chrome-wrapper --user-data-dir=/root/chromium "$@" --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 
results in terminal window vanishing and no google chrome.

any help appreciated..
