opera910.unc is now posted in the UNC section of the repository.

Running DSL 3.2, frugal install on my hard drive (hda2).
I'll preface by saying I'm new to DSL -- and loving it so far.

I've installed opera 8.52 from myDSL - Net.
When I try to install opera910.unc from myDSL - UNC, nothing seems to happen.

Code Sample

find -name opera -type d

only turns up the /opt/opera852 stuff.

Am I skipping a step? Is there a log somewhere that I should check for errors?

Confusedly,
Handy

I would not try loading both vesions of Opera.
The unc version should produce an opera icon just as the prior version.

You need to be using unionfs for unc to be enabled.

You can check this easy with the command

listu

Ah ha. unionfs, huh?

listu returns no output, so ... is unionfs a different filesystem? A start over kind of deal (which is fine, I've barely had it installed 24 hours).

Thanks for the clarification on the opera thing, now I just need to understand unionfs. :-)

I'm using DSL 3.2, frugal from /dev/hda3, backup device is hdb2

Downloaded an extension for the first time ever, opera910.unc

Was glad to see it worked, but not that it disappeared after a reboot?

Downloaded again, saved it in /dev/hda4/mydsl/

Now it works OK. (does /dev/hda4 need to be mounted?) but I want to make a change (remove Widgets from the Opera menu).
Apparently that's in a file something like
ramdisk/opera910/usr/share/opera/standard_menu.ini ??
(Sorry, I can't look at that now, am in MS-Windows)

When I try to edit the ini file, I'm told it's a read-only file system.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sheldon

I think it may be that unc's are mounted read-only - so you should utilize user-specific configs or other system-wide settings for opera, or repackage the extension to your liking.
