Well thanks a lot. I got it working and I'm posting from Chromium.  At first
I just downloaded the chromium-3.0.193.xxxx.i586 file. I ran into a library
dependency issue (libv8.so.0). I didn't know where to find that library. I
search yum, but came up with nothing.  So; I went back to the site and
downloaded the other v8-xxx.i586 files and installed those first. To my
surprise the chromium installed without any issues.
Is this a standard thing to do? I didn't see any instructions and I had no
idea what those other files were.  Thanks again.
