Hi kph4foss, I have installed Opera on OpenSolaris a few times as I thought it was a much faster and much more light weight browser than Firefox was (smaller memory foot print). It's been a while since I've installed it though. Let me see what I can remember. I think first I went here:
http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?custom=yes Then I clicked on "Solaris Intel" (if you accidentally downloaded "Solaris SPARC" it won't work as SPARC CPU's have a different architecture than Intel and AMD CPU's do). Then go to the latest version (I think Opera 9.64). Then you want to download what's called a "System V UNIX package" file (it's a ".pkg" file), but usually they're compressed using gzip or something, so I think the one I think I downloaded was: "Static QT, pkg.gz" (don't really remember though). Then maybe decompress the file with something like: gunzip -d filename.pkg.gz and then install it the uncompressed pkg file with something like this command: pfexec pkgadd filename.pkg and then you'll get 2 Questions: (1) "Which package do you want to install". Type "ALL" (2) "Are you sure?" Type "Y" (for yes) then just type in this at the $ command line: opera & to start it. I think after installing go to /usr/lib/local/opera/9.10-20061412 and double click on OPERA (create a shortcut towards your desktop for a fast start). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
