In the options panel under personal stuff there is a button clear browsers data, you can select what data to delete there.

Hope this helps

Chrome sfs file

#47 Post by Wognath »

GrumpyWolfe--thanks for the chrome pet file. It works perfectly.

Steve S. Thanks for the detailed account of how to make pet and particularly sfs files out of deb files (second posting in this topic). I followed your steps and Chrome apparently installed (/opt/google/chrome/ chrome and chrome-desktop files exist) but I could not get it to run, either as sfs or pet. For my education, can you think of some obvious step a beginner may have left out? Thanks.

Yes you will have to go to /usr/local/bin look for a file called defaultbrowser right click on it select. open as text. change the line that will say ether seamonkey or Firefox which ever you have put in google-chrome and save the file and you should have no problem after that

I've had good success with replacing Seamonkey with Chrome on Puppeee. A couple of tips for packaging Chome to make it smaller:

You can use Disciple's gconf-dbus package here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 099#343099. This version of Gconf does not depend on libOrbit.

You can remove about 7MB of localization files and package them separately.

Audiophile, open a terminal and run 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure'
