Hartmann > ------------------------------------------------------------------- Opera is not available for FreeBSD - but the Linux binary works perfectly. Make sure you have the Linux compatibility libs installed, then install the *Linux* version of the QT 2.1.x libs (e.g. libqt.so.2 under /compat/linux/usr/lib), then you should be able to run the Opera binary fine. I have rpm set up on my FreeBSD box, so I simply do: rpm -i --ignoreos --ignorearch --root /compat/linux qt-2.1.1.i386.rpm Mind you, Opera for Linux is still heavily under development, so that may not be amazingly stable yet either... Finally, though, Mozilla (i.e. "The" Mozilla project) is starting to turn into a fantastic browser. It's stability is getting there. You can get M17 from http://www.mozilla.org . John.
