Does anyone know if you can install Opera web browser on DSL? And how you do this?

I need to run a web link in full scren mode and Opera seems to be a good app for this.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no actual version of Opera available as module for DSL.

Why?
Is it difficult and complex to make such a module for DSL?

Is there an easy instruction how to do it?

With the MyDSL application, I have found Opera 9.00 and 8.52.
Trying first this Opera 9.00 module alone, I have got a window opened without fonts.
Then, with the Opera 8.52 module additionaly downloaded, I have got Opera 9.00 working with fonts in the window.

Strange!
It seems like this Opera 9.00 module isn't complete?
In order to have the newest available Opera module installed, I need the older Opera 8.52 as well for the fonts :(

I wish there would be an actual and complete Opera module available for DSL.

Key, you can just use one of the 8.x modules on its own.

The 9.x module's .info will show that you will need to use the other version of that uci or load another extension for prefs.
If you prefer just to have a simple fix, add /etc/opera6rc to your backup.tar.gz - reason why it wasn't included was that it breaks the uci standard (although the 8.x modules do it anyway).
