Maybe I should have tested that link before cut and pasting it. Try http://www.opera.com/download/?ver=8.0b1 Make sure the Linux tab is selected, and use the drop down box to select Mandrake, then select 10.1 and pick a download site. It should download a file called opera-8.0-20050104.5-shared-qt.i386-en.rpm clicking on that with konqueror will install Opera. I cannot remember if Opera automatically creates a menu entry. If it does an Opera icon will appear in your menu under Internet>Web Browsers (It can take a minute or so) If no icon appears then hit Alt+F2 and type 'opera' in the drop down box to launch Opera, and you can use menudrake (In Mandrake Control Centre) to create your own menu item. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
