Opera 8 works with the libraries from Slackware 9.0
Or slackware 8.1 if you choose the proper download package.


Sindi and/or Steven should be able to provide more detail
on how to do this and which version of Opera to choose.

Instructions for installing Opera 8 are at the BL3 site.

Newer versions of Opera require a bit of processing and
memory umph. I'd say nothing less than about a P2 with
64 MB of RAM would be required.

Opera 6 worked in 16MB but crashed often on a 486.

Full instructions are at the Bl3 site.

The upshot of all this is that you likely would not be able
to run the latest Opera under BL3.

That is correct.

Almost certainly you'd have to download an older version
of Opera, and even then you'd likely need to upgrade your
libraries before it would run.

I don't think a P2 is necessary. A 166-MMX with 32mb RAM
(and 64mb swap) is probably sufficient. It won't be lightning
fast, but it should be useable.


Alt-P preferences, set it to not display images (probably under Advanced) and then Shift G will load the images.


Cheers,
Steven
