For the first one (ought to work in OpenSolaris, but I wouldn't necessarily do it this way - using two different packaging systems on the same system could cause confusion) gunzip opera-9.64.gcc295-static-qt3.pkg.gz pkgadd -d opera-9.64.gcc295-static-qt3.pkg For the second (my preferred route as it allows me to have multiple versions installed for testing) cd /wherever/you/want/it/to/be/installed gzcat opera-9.64.gcc295-static-qt3.tar.gz | tar xf - cd opera-9.64-2480.gcc3-static-qt3 ./opera (the path in the last but one step is true on my system, but obviously may change as opera release new versions). -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
