No one should be afraid to ask.. as long as your reasonable and polite
then you should always get help.. :-)

I'm planning on (sooo busy :-[ ) setting up some graphical howto's
pretty soon.. I'd be interested to see if they're more or less useful
to real newbies..

As for Opera, if you run it from the cmd line what error does it come
out with? (always a good way to find out why a menu item doesn't work)
