I ended up installing the pkg. It installs in /usr/local. I -NEVER- use this location so it was very easy to compare these files with the ones installed by the tarfile in /opt/local Two windows from midnight commander and all was done fast and neat. Remains the fact that opera forgot the uninstall rules in their install.sh script. Plus I dislike the use of /usr/local insteadof /opt/local in their solaris(!) package. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ http://nagual.nl/ | SunOS 10u5 05/08 ++
