I just installed VL lght 7.0 and want ot have either Chromium or Google Chrome. The first thing I tried was to update Gslapt, but I think it crashed before it could update, as it just goes to get the patch list and does the checksums, then stops without updating anything. I installed Opera from Gslapt, but when Opera opens, it says that a new version is available.

In a terminal type
su
and enter your root password. Then...
slapt-get --update
If it fails to update the repositories post the output here.
If it succeeds do..
slapt-get --install chromium
If that succeeds make this thread as solved, if not post the output here, please.

Everything went well....except that Chromium, while now installed (I have the Chromium icon showing under "Internet"), doesn't open when I click it. And when I tried "chromium" as a regular user in the terminal, I got "Illegal instruction."

I did my install of chromium in a vectorlinux light full install (with the lxde desktop environment). I used Chromium version 15.0.874.106. It is working well here.
Is your install of VL-Light a full, medium or light install? Which Chromium version did you test?

I downloaded VL Light 7.0 from Distro Watch, as I was trying to find a "Light Live" version, and this was as close as I could find. I tried to install VL Standard 7.0, and couldn't get that to work. http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=07171 I don't know which version of Chromium Gslapt installed. |

I ran "whereis chromium" in the terminal, just to make sure it was there.
chromium: /usr/bin/chromium /usr/lib/chromium /usr/X11R6/bin/chromium /usr/bin/X11/chromium /usr/X11/bin/chromium /usr/man/man1/chromium.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/chromium.1.gz /usr/X11/man/man1/chromium.1.gz

You can launch gslapt and search for chromium, it will show you the version.
Or, use command "slapt-get --show chromium"

Pottzie are you using an Athlon PIII cpu?
Found this while googling.
Re: Chromium PPA
The is a known problem: #9007. It is caused by a dependency on SSE2 opcodes, so it breaks on any non-SSE2 CPU (e.g., PIII, Athlon). Should be fixed eventually.

You may have to wait for an update, or see if the google-chrome version 12.0.742.124 gives you the same result.
If both fail and you are still looking for a lighter browser, try midori, but install glib-networking version 2.29 as well as midori requires it for https sites.
