A clarification, like you I have a Linux license (as well as a Windows; I really do like Opera) What I did is upgrade the license for US$15 to convert my Linux license to FreeBSD. Since I have had my Linux license for over a year, paying $15 for letting Opera know I use FreeBSD and will support Opera natively on FreeBSD is good value for money, IMO. Hopefully soon there will be a opera-sharedqt port, since I use KDE, I can take advantage of the AA support I have compiled into my QT install, and makes Opera look just as good as the rest of my KDE setup :) (I still use Konq for my IPv6 web browsing, so it still has a use) ;) Best Wishes - Peter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [ http://www.plosh.net/ ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

Opera for FreeBSD
I remember ages ago this being discussed on here. Well, guess what? http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2002/10/31/b/ Our wishes have been granted. My FreeBSD box is a server only - no GUI - so I have no idea how well it runs. Have fun, and Happy Hallowe'en (a day late in my time zone)! -Tenebrae. --- The sending of any unsolicited email advertising messages to this domain may result in the imposition of civil liability against you in accordance with Cal.

I used the one with static Qt. Be careful, as the link from the press release to download, brings you to the linux version. Near the top of that page there is a link for FreeBSD. Do not click 'download now' until you've seen the Beastie! I am glad that my visit to websites is no longer recorded as being from a Linux machine.

Re: Opera for FreeBSD
It coredumps on exit here. OS is 4.7-stable as of
today, 2002/11/01. Previous beta did the same thing,
but it seems that it didn't start coredumping until a
cvsup/{build,install}world a couple of weeks ago.
Other than the exit-coredump, it seems to run well.
Here's the exit-message:
opera in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ sh: turning off NDELAY mode
Any ideas?

I doubt it may be a i845G specific problem.
