Other Help Topics :: Installing opera on DSL

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.
=======================

I'm sorry, I don't yet know about those things.

Will someone please tell me how?

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.

However, two approaches exist to accomplish this.
1. Repackage the unc, it has been posted already use Search
2. Add the specific changed file(s) to the backup using full path minus the first /

HandySolo, The default for DSL v3.2 is unionfs.
Perhaps your frugal install has the boot option legacy ?
Using legacy boot option turns off unionfs.

hi Roberts, thanks for the replies.

In looking back at the wiki, I did the Hard Disk Install as opposed to the Frugal Install.

Is there a difference? I've not really found much on the frugal install to understand if it is the same as what I did or not.

By following the HD install, I created two partitions, one swap and one Linux type 83. Perhaps I should've created a third of type unionfs?

Unionfs is not really meant for traditional hard drive installations.

Frugal installations have severely limited write areas, as it is an emulation of running from cdrom. Unionfs for frugal provides a writeable overlay providing much the same write access as doing a traditional hard drive install.

Since you have a traditional hard drive installation, I would think that a normal installation from Opera's site would work.

Typically, I do not promote traditional hard installations, because so often things get screwed up.

With frugal type, you always have a pristine know state of the machine, on which you load into ramdisk to achive similar results as a traditional hard drive installation.
