Ah ha.  So, loosely translated, by farting around with the UNC stuff I'm just making life hard for myself. :D

For some reason, I had it my head that even though I was a hard drive install, I should stick with the MyDSL stuff for everything I added.

As I don't really want to add much beyond Opera, I'll just go manually install it.

Thanks for your help!

Robert had said:
"I would think that a well behaved application will store user specific settings in .opera in the respective home directories. A typical user would not have to change or even have access to system wide settings."
~~~~~~~~~~

The file
/ramdisk/opt/opera910/usr/share/opera/ini/standard_menu.ini
is in a read-only filesystem

However,  /home/dsl/.opera/opera6.ini  can be edited and saved, and the relevant part of it now says:

Menu Configuration=/home/dsl/.opera/mymenu.ini

(It used to say
Menu Configuration=/ramdisk/opt/opera910/usr/share/opera/ini/standard_menu.ini  )

mymenu.ini is a copy of
/ramdisk/opt/opera910/usr/share/opera/ini/standard_menu.ini,
and has just the small change I wanted, commenting out the line as below:

;Submenu, -235137047, Browser Widgets Menu

True, but because we are talking about a unc and not a uci, the
file /usr/share/opera/ini/standard_menu.ini is available to be edited by root and then therefore be added to the filetool.lst for backup and restore.

Three things:

1. The easy fix for old(er) Opera versions huge opening screen and no fonts.
    Edit /etc/opera6rc and add the following line just under [User Prefs]

    Enable Xft Fonts=0

2. I have made Opera 9.10 into a dsl extensions and am using it at the momemnt. I will post it later today.

3. If you cannot wait, then you can install Opera 9.10 all within /home/dsl by downloading from the Opera site, first scroll through the list for static version and second select tar.gz as the format. If you tar extract and run install.sh as user dsl then it will install in /home/dsl  Don't forget to take care of font issue as above.

Hello there,

I couldn't find Opera 910.unc so what I did is I downloaded Opera from the website and installed it myself.

I followed Robert's suggestion regarding the font issue and it works great.

I also copy paste flashplugin from Firefox to Opera, and it works; the problem now is that I have no sound when let say, watching a video on youtube, while everything works great in Firefox.

I research the forums but I didn't find anything, any ideas??

Thanks

For the unc, see the UNC section
