If you want to avoid the large download and lengthy compile time of chromium, use www-client/google-chrome instead, this is the pre-compiled binary from Google. --=20 Neil Bothwick EMail - garbage at the speed of light. --Sig_/NDWdUAys4f/tZGdxnhKVjw_ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlPXd5UACgkQum4al0N1GQPxqgCfUH5QhjYHm5jzdZIJzbjDLU2p k/kAn3pBsc1NUQ0OvAFfarYVK1pv4ozs =5iGF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/NDWdUAys4f/tZGdxnhKVjw_--
