Works on Mandrake 6.1 pretty fine (except the opera internal
bugs).

It's 5M now, statically linked version could be 10M or more...
way to much.

Browser is OK, but it has some very annoying 'features' - form

But it seems we're going to get another pretty useful browser. -- v Davor Cengija [EMAIL PROTECTED] === "Please allow 30 days for delivery"

Well, it might work with Mandrake 6.1, but it definetely fails to run on Mandrake 5.3 and RedHat 5.2 When I get home tonite I will try it on my LM 6.1 box and see what it does. Public Betas are good, that is how they get feedback. Like my problem. They can either supply libc6.1 or libc6.2 versions, or they can statically link the libraries and bloat their code by beacoup megabytes. I sure wish that Netscape had just upgraded and fixed their 3.04 version. It was trim, slim, fast, and the email is still a joy. Communicator was -and still is- a bloated thing geared chiefly to put advertising on your desktop. Lets give Opera some slack and see how they shape up in the next few months.
