1 Pretty lame and pretty OT, but here it is:
2
3 I've installed Opera... in the last 40 min or so, I've attempted to
4 determine how to set a home page. Googled etc.
5
6 Directions found on google appear NOT to apply to linux version.
7
8 Navigate to and click the preferences link at top of opera page.
9
10 NOT... there is no such link.
11
12 So, how is it done... well maybe a preferences file found in ~/.opera/
13
14 vim operaprefs.ini ... and then insert:
15 Home URL=www.google.com/ig
16 (save and restart) .. once again NOT.
17
18 Even watched a video... which shows a nice person clicking on
19 preferences Icon... but well ... there isn't one. Check all available
20 toolbars by clicking `customize' on existing top mast but not finding
21 a menu like that.
22
23 Is opera really so poorly designed as to make such a simple operation
24 so time consuming, or am I missing something really basic (as usual).
25
26 How is such a simple operation done?
