Well I am running Mandrake 7.1 I downloaded the rpm version of the
"statically linked" Opera version for Linux from their website. It
installed without a wimper in Mandrake.
BTW, the errors I got were apparently because I was not online when I first
started it up and it was trying to get on line. When I went online, these
errors dissappeared and I was then able to change the default homepage so I
can start it up without being online.
Still got some bugs though.
