1 If you are tired of waiting forever for konqueror or netscape or
2 mozilla to load, give the new opera beta a try.

4 There may be a few sites tht won't work, but none of the ones I
5 visit regularly have any problems. Multiple windows and
6 downloads work like a champ.

8 Here's what I did.
9
10 1. Go to www.opera.com/downloads and get the dynamic tar.gz
11 file
12 2. su (if this doesn't work, your user needs to be in group
13 wheel and fix the wheel user list
14 to allow your user) (or do the install from root).
15 3. cd /usr/src
16 4. cp path.to.opera.file.gz . (wherever you put the file)
17 5. tar xvzf opera.file.gz (the file on /usr/src)
18 6. cd opera.dir (the directory just created)
19 7. sh install.sh -s
20 8. run opera (use run box under xfce or from a terminal under
21 kde or gnome opera &)
22 9. enjoy
