I personally prefer having both pkgtool and installpkg.  I think that, in
general, newbies are going to gravitate towards using pkgtool, since it is
a semi-gui app, and people generally can't have much rapport with
computers these days without a gui.

I looked all over for a .tgz package for Opera on the web, and all I could
find was one at a site that was in Turkish.  I decided not to download it,
since I was afarid it might be Turkish-localized.  If you found a tgz
package for Opera, please post the location.  This could be very useful
for BL users.

On a related note, I've discovered that I have Opera 6.03 installed here
on this P90 Vectorlinux install.  It has worked fine for me on this
relatively fuller Linux/Slack installation, with no noteable problems.  Do
we have any consensus so far on whether Opera 6.03 is the right browser
choice for BL2?  I may try it out on my BL2 machine at home to confirm or
refute the success Sindi seems to have been having with it on her BL2
install.
