Do you plan to attempt this in the next two days?  Our friend would like a 
working browser and I would hate to have to give him Windows again.
On Sunday I may switch hard drives and put on my 350MB of BL2 as a stopgap 
measure.

Can anyone else who has Opera take a look at install.sh and see why it 
objects to one line of it?

I will keep trying to find a way to install it, short of copying over all 
the files manually.  Our friend logs into www. tdwaterhouse.com and links2 
cannot handle that site. The one for BL3 apparently lacks ssl support (I 
got a message about that) and the one for BL2 (compiled by JP) may not be 
doing enough javascript, which the site is full of.  I can get into the 
site but not login with username and password.  It puts me back to the 
original page instead when I click on secure login link.

Lynx also failed (uclibc version) so it is not just ssl.

Maybe elinks will be better at this page.
