Not finding anything on this, my searches haven't helped.

Running Lucid Puppy on a thinkpad x100e.

Having installed Chrome, it did not provide any menu entries or shortcuts anywhere. I can't find a google chrome directory anywhere in the filesystem. Strange to me but whatever- I'm trying to run chrome- work to do and all.

I run chrome by opening the console and running:

google-chrome --user-data-dir=/usr/data

it's great. I just want to make a desktop shortcut. a keyboard shortcut would be cool too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Manoeuver, Welcome to Pup! Here, this should make life easy.

Cli's >> google-chrome %U me thinks..

The hard way..

Rt-clk inside home >> new >> script >> name as you like.

Open it >> this line: google-chrome --user-data-dir=/usr/data

.. under #!/bin/sh.

Save it, then drag to your desktop.

Now rt-clk >> edit item >> shortcut click to set.

For what its worth I would use thr rox filer and navigate to the binary in /usr/bin chrome whatever
drag it over to the desktop and it will ask you what to make . Choose link relative I think (not too sure on what link absolute does).

Close everything up right click on desktop link and edit the action it takes with your above line . Find an icon and in the same menu you can drag an icon over too

Thanks to the both of you. I found it in the usr/bin directory and got it working like a charm.

cheers!
