ChristopheDeprez Jun 2, 2011 7:27 AM (in response to VMFritze)To install a text editor in the Browser Appliance, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo yum install -y gedit
After installation completes, the Text Editor will be available from the "Applications" menu (under "Accessories").

It worked great in the Firefox 4 Beta appliance, but for the 3.6 I only get an error "cannot find a valid url for repo: addons".
Maybe it's because this one is installed on a different machine.
Thx for the great work,
Fiete

Are you the one that made the current browser appliance(Scientific linux with Firefox)? I was wondering why dont you make one with chromium instead of firefox? It would be awesome if you could. I would use it in a heartbeat!

ChristopheDeprez Jul 26, 2011 12:53 PM (in response to zonaguy)You may download the Chromium package for CentOS from Chris Staite at the University of Birmingham and substitute it to Firefox in the current Browser Appliance. To do so, open the Terminal and use the following commands:
curl http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~cxs548/chrome.tar.gz|tar zxf -;
sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox{,-};
sudo ln -s /home/vmware/chrome/chrome-wrapper /usr/bin/firefox

ChristopheDeprez Aug 2, 2011 8:10 AM (in response to zonaguy)Those commands are for the current Browser Appliance (version 5.0 based on Scientific Linux 6.0). Yes, you need to execute the three commands in a sequence (copy paste into the Terminal screen and press "enter").

SimonHF Nov 24, 2011 6:53 PM (in response to ChristopheDeprez)I'm just playing with the latest appliance on VMware Workstation 8. Everything seems to work very well. Latest flash installed and works without problems. Only problem is no sound. Any idea how to fix that?
Another quick question: How can I install Chrome as an alternative browser?
And how can I install the CPU monitor panel app?

SimonHF Nov 24, 2011 7:08 PM (in response to SimonHF)I discovered that for some reason VMware was considering the sound hardware as a removeable device which is wasn't automatically connecting for some reason. After manually connecting then I could play sound on both guest and host simultaneously. Any help with the other questions would be great. Thanks.
