Install opera 8.02 in 1.0.4 bare bones

#1 Post by PeterSieg »

Hi. Just want to let you know my experiences...
I today ran 1.0.4 bb from live-cd. In my setup, I just use a usb stick for pup001 to save settings etc. no hdd.

I tryied to install opera 7.54 from Puppy packages site. Gave segmentation fault?
(In 1.0.3 bb it works out of the box..? probably missing/wrong libs?)
Then tryied firefox.. didn`t showed up in selection, so manual download to /root and installed as alien package..
Told me about some missing libs... also gave segmentation fault :(

The went with dillo to www.opera.com.
Downloaded opera 8.0.2 (other os, tar.gz format!!) to /root.
PupGet will not work here, opera has its own installer!
open a rxvt terminal. you should be already in /root (pwd; cd /root)
tar zxvf opera*
cd opera*
./install.sh
answer all questions with y.
./opera should now start opera 8.02
if you want a desktop link, open rox cd to /usr/bin and drag opera icon to desktop...

PS
Have fun :)

Always reboot before posting

You should never post before reboot :)
didn't work after reboot? Probably some files are not saved etc.
changed install prfix dir to /root.
opera then complains about plugin dir.. but I don't use that.. so okay for me :)
This worked also after reboot.

PS
Have fun :)
