This is a quick tutorial to install Google Chrome on Backtrack. A lot of people are trying to learn security these days and backtrack being one of the most used distros they download it and find themselve stuck in a dillema to use it. Here are the steps you need to follow in order to install Chrome Browser on your Backtrack 5. And Chrome is my Favorite browser. so let's start.
Open the Konsole/Terminal (or whatever funky name you call it with)
Execute the following command(text in red) to download the program 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

root@bt:~# apt-get install chromium-browser
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We need to make a few changes in the system to make it work. So switch to Chrome’s directory with following command(text in red)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@bt:~# cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open Hex editor with the command(text in red)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@bt:/usr/lib/chromium-browser# hexedit chromium-browser

Switch to code written in right hand side by pressing "tab" key
- Now search for geteuid with the command (ctrl+s then type geteuid)

press "y" key to save
