Chromium has to be added to the recipe you create your image with e.g
add 'chromium-x11' to core-image-minimal-xfce.bb - or create your own
recipe. As the name says core-image-minimal-xfce is a minimum
xfce-desktop. As far as I can remember it was created for test purpose
(I never used it to be honest).
