    Google Earth in one swell foop

    How to install Google Earth 4.3 beta in Linux?

    Enter this command into a terminal and hit enter
    wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/cu...EarthLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin

    This downloads the Google Earth installer and starts the graphical installer. At those on a slow connection, the installer is about 19 MB in size.

    I discovered this somewhere and it is the ONLY way I could get to work (after several tries using other online advice)

    Maybe I don't have the right repositories enabled?

    Well, the install worked using this sites instructions. They broke up the commands a little better.
