Yes, I saw that.

I'm not optimistic.  The version of Opera I have here worked
fine on Slackware 8.1 (with glibc 2.3).  I'm beginning to fear
that the problem it has on BL2 (with glibc 2.1) is related to
the library.  Because Opera is closed-source, we simply have
to take whatever library they choose.

Perhaps.  But I'll be trying other things first.

I don't know about that.  I have a feeling that the binary
still needs mozilla files.

It's been in "early stages" for a couple of years now.
I looked into it a while back.  The (commercial) organization
behind it are big on self-promotion, but I don't know whether 
they actually have something useful.
