My problem with that computer was that tar in BL 3.40 refused to work on 
the SW81 glibc-solibs package.  'bad tar magic'.

BL2 tar had worked on that same computer before.  tar worked on other 
packages on that computer.  pkg uses tar.  Which is one reason I copied 
over the library files manually.

Maybe the package somehow got corrupted when I transferred via DOS and 
llpro (because plip also won't work on that computer and the network card 
would not work but it was not tested elsewhere first).

Could you install Opera with install.sh?  That also refused to work for 
me in BL3.40 on the same computer.
