最近想換成google chrome的beta版，研究了一下

在google網站上抓好deb安裝檔

http://www.google.com/chrome

我的系統是i386版，看是用那一版本就抓那一版

然後安裝起來

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

安裝好之後，會在/etc/apt/source.list.d/裡面新增一個檔案google-chrome.list

也會在系統上多一組gpg key，可以用apt-key list來看是那一組，這樣之後安裝的時候就不會出現key沒有認證的訊息

這樣裝起來之後，預設是安裝stable版，可以手動換成beta , unstable版

手動移除stable版本

sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable

安裝beta , unstable版本，很想嘗試新版本的話就可以這樣作

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable

在從選單開啟google chrome就完成了

這兩天把資料從ntfs格式的外接硬碟複製回ext4的partition，發現檔案屬性都變成可執行了，檔案實在太多，要一個一個改屬性實在太花時間，問了強者之後，有各指令可以一次解決

­find . -type f -exec chmod o-x,u-x,g-x {} \;

跑完就解決了

deb-src http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

then just typing upgrade with root account , after upgrade for kernel was done , i just reboot my laptop with new kernel , because upgrade process was stop due to udev upgrade error , udev in unstable will not work with debian 5.04 kernel , after reboot with new kernel , i just using apt-get -f install , apt-get dist-upgrade , until every upgrade commands are finished without error
