Chrome exists on the lab machines already, but a CCIS account is
required to use it as I can't make the package available to NUNET (we
have shortcuts/settings that wouldn't work properly for their users).
It is the case that students can download Chrome themselves and run it,
as Google designed it to run out of their local profile without needing
administrator access. However if they are using their NUNET account the
install won't follow them to other machines and they would have to
re-install it on every machine that they use.
Alternatively, your students could log in with the guest account: pclab
with password: guest which would give them access to our Chrome.
However it should be noted that anything saved in the pclab profile
could be viewable by others using the machine at a later date.
