I've just installed Opera 9.21 on BL3.  It works!  
However it doesn't go in as cleanly as Opera 8 
-- you get some nonfatal error messages.  
Opera 9 is significantly bigger than Opera 8. 
I installed Opera 8 without problem in a 40mb 
test partition, but when I did the same thing 
with Opera 9, it overflowed the partition and 
spit out pages of error messages.  However, 
once you've installed Opera 9.21 and deleted 
all the installation files, it occupires just 
28mb -- that includes the BL3 foundation and 
the required add-ons (glibc2, misc-libs, x-libs).

So the instructions for installing Opera at
the BasicLinux site still work.  There is
no issue with BasicLinux 3.50, there is no
issue with jwm, and (surprisingly) there is
no issue with the latest-and-greatest version
of Opera.

Cheers,
Steven
