installing OPERA

[René L. Reingard]

Hello Lee H. in beautiful Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada!

months ago i did install OPERA under Ubuntu Warty as follows:

1. downloaded the <opera.DEB> file from www.opera.com (in Linux Distro  
choosing: Debian) to my home folder

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

2. write in terminal: $  dpkg --install libpng12-0

3. type in terminal: $ dpkg --install libqt3c102-mt

4. run in terminal: $ 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 - and then install the  
opera.deb-pack by: $ dpkg --install name-of-opera-deb.deb

regards,
René
