Sorry, I seemed to miss the link, must have been the excitement.

Just Downloaded the Pet, and pleased to say that everything works fantastic, in Puppy 4 Dingo.

Thanks

Jason

Hi,
Can you tell me which flavour of Opera you use to build the pet.
As I want to try Opera 9.6 in a new install of Puppy 4.1

thanks

DC

I am using Opera 9.60beta1 on ChurchPup 3.01 and it works nicely. YouTube plays nicely enough. Also, e-mail servers and myspace (not that I actually use like some may) work well too. Overall, an improvement over the 9.52.

It can be downloaded from Opera and installed from source code very easily.

Hi,
All working I downloaded
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/opera/linux/960/final/en/i386/shared/opera-9.60.gcc4-shared-qt3.i386.tar.gz

followed the old instructions from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28317

and then tried running the Opera "install.sh" and that worked fine as well.

What really made me happy is BBC iplayer works alough not in full screen (yet)

I'm using 9.60 and it works well, except for one thing; how do I install Flash 10 (for which I've got the pet) into it?

Thanks for keeping Opera up to date. For some reason I got segmentation fault with 61 and 62 pets and have to go back to 52. What could it be?

@Taavi,

I heartily recommend installing Opera from the tgz. Simply tell puppy to unzip it when ask if you want to unzip it or download it.

Extract it to /
Open a terminal and cd the folder
type ./install.sh

Answer "yes" to everything.

Should work perfectly.

I'm currently running Seamonkey 50% of the time and Opera 50% of the time. Opera was my browser of choice on my G3 and G4 Macs. After those parted company with me, I ran Opera on my Gateway laptop. After the toddlers got enough coffee into it to make it smoke, well, here I am with this old eMachines box.

I have the 9.62 version as of now, and I think Opera runs better for text based websites like Gmail and Craigslist, but image-intensive sites like eBay or MySpace run smoother in SeaMonkey. This may have more to do with my 1MB of video RAM than the browser, YMMV, caveat emptor, and risk isn't just a board game. Wink

KF6SNJ,

thanks for reminding. I've done that earlier but it feels some how easier to use pets and Wolf Pup has done great job offering new versions almost immediatly after they have been released. I installed the newest one now from tgz and it works. I guess I have messed up something with package manager that influence to newest opera.pets.
