tp stands for Technology Preview.

Perhaps.  You are welcome to try.  I'm happy with 5.05 so 
I won't be downloading any more versions of Opera (on my 
per-minute 33.6 dialup).

> Steven, have you tried Opera 6.11 on just one computer?  

Two.  A P166 with 64mb RAM and a 486-66 with 16mb RAM.
Identical problem.  I've run it with two different kernels.
Identical problem.  I've run it from BL2 and from Slack71.
Identical problem.

Highly unlikely.

I would be very happy to get input from Slackware 7.1 users.
However, most Slackware users moved to version 8 long ago.

final
