If you really want the software from the opera site I would go for the pkg file. Unzip that file and than do a "pfexec pkgadd -d opera-xxxx.pkg" You will install a SVR4 package on your OpenSolaris system. I would not do that if a IPS pkg is available. The tar file can be unzipped/untarred to a directory of choise and run from there. "man pkg" ; "man pkgadd" The easiest way to add the contrib repo is through the GUI of the package manager on your desktop. Just choose "add repo contrib" You can also do it on the cli: "pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib/ contrib" -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE +http://nagual.nl/ | SunOS 10u7 05/09 ZFS+ -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE +http://nagual.nl/ | SunOS 10u7 05/09 ZFS+
