Here is the address for Opera 6.03 (at least the third time I have posted
it) for the person who said 6.12 crashed.  Opera 6.03 works fine for me
with 16M RAM.  I had problems with the screen being scrambled in 5.05,
plus 5.05 appears to download all the images even when you tell it not to
display images, and it requires a mouse for nearly everything.  6.03 can
be used without a mouse.  It never crashed once for me.  It will even work
with xmono (but won't display images).  If you type F11 for full-screen
mode it gets rid of the banner ad and all the buttons and menus.  F11 to
toggle back.  F2 lets you enter the URL while in full-screen mode.

Steve, PLEASE could you put this link at the BL2 site.  It is hard to
find.
