[ale] Separate instance of google chrome

[Horkan Smith]

I always had to create a temp user to run two separate instances on the same XWindow server or same system.

More recently, I tend to use simple kvm script to run an instance of knoppix.

----
~/bin/knoppix_kvm
----
KNOPISO=/cdroms/images/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V7.0.4CD-2012-08-20-EN.iso

#
echo knoppix hsync=300 vsync=300 screen=1680x1050
#
# qemu \
# kvm \
kvm \
 -monitor stdio \
 -boot d \
 -cdrom $KNOPISO \
 -m 1024 \
 -vga std \
 -usb \
 -usbdevice tablet \
 -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 \
 $*

Not sure if that'd meet your needs or not... that would be chromium, not chrome.

later!
