Opera for Linpus Linus Lite

Hi,

Total newbie here, I have hunted through the forum board, and I apologise if I missed a thread regarding this but can not see an answer. I would like to install Opera on my new Acer Aspire One, model Number ZG5; I know that it is running Linpus Linus Lite V1.07.E.

Please could someone point me to the correct download as I can not see Linpus Linus on Opera’s site?

Best Regards
Barrie

 

You need the i386 Linux version. Opera does not care about distributions
In general however you should pick the packages for Fedora Core 8.

Assuming you would like to have a pretty desktop icon as well, I recommend following this procedure:

Hi Grim Squeaker,

I appreciate your very quick response, and will try this link tomorrow. Thank you again you have saved me hours of searching.

Opera seems to use the same plugins as firefox though so i've like me you were open to get embedded divx then you're in for a let-down!

 

Just want to thank you, it is nice to see Opera back.

Hi,

One last question, how can I make Opera my default browser, as at the present time I had to create a short cut in my documents and use that. It would be nice to use the desktop to access it.

re-read the link to macles blog and you will find out how to add / change your desktop so you can start opera.
hint: the "sed" commands make the edits you need, reboot and opera will be on your desktop.

 

Hi quickie,

Thanks I did and all is fine, it is just taking my brain a while to get out of MS mode. Also now have Skype fully loaded and working thanks to this forum.

It is good to see the support level for newbie’s is so good and you are all patient with what must seem our dumb requests for help.

Thanks again

Regards
Barrie
