Nicholas, No problem with installing on my part. I've been regularly testing the nightly builds of new Firefox versions for a couple years now so I have no problem doing the same thing with Chrome/Chromium. I doubt that any bugs in the dev builds of Chrome/Chromium are going to wreak havoc with my OS at all, Mozilla's "Minefield" builds haven't yet and "Minefield" hardly has anything equivalent to Chrome's "V8 virtual machine/sandboxing/each tab in it's own process" type of features.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
