Opera 6 would run in mono but without displaying any images.  7.23 and 
later require at least 256 colors, I think.  (I think I tried plain VGA 
and 7.23 refused to load).

I had to add libz in addition to the Opera 7.23 dependencies (from 
Slackware 8.1, in my operalib.tgz package, including two libraries not 
listed by ldd but needed to go online) to get 8.51 to work with BL3.
