installing Opera

[René L. Reingard]

Hi to all interested in OPERA

it works well indeed.
i do use Opera (7.54) since i started using Warty beginning of this year.
Opera always worked fine for me.
when Hoary was finally released i upgraded from Warty to Hoary and Opera  
was still running.
then i did an Upgrade of Opera (8.01) some days ago, as i got to  
understand that they provide us Opera for Ubuntu.
this means i have not done a new installation of Opera under Hoary but i  
did it under Warty.
And that's what i have done:


1. download of <opera.DEB> from: http://www.opera.com/download/

when i tried to install this DEB-pack the message was coming up
that some other stuff needed to be installed first. so i did as
promted:

2. $ dpkg --install libpng12-0

3. $ dpkg --install libqt3c102-mt

4. $ dpkg --install name-of-opera-deb-file.deb

i hope this still works. i see that 'libpng12-0' and 'libqt3c102-mt' are  
part of standard Ubuntu,
so you also get it throu Synaptic, just install them first - if not  
allready installed.

regards,
René
