Really?  I would expect them to have the same
issue with libc5 X libraries.

I have no idea.  And I don't really care.  
The 2.3.1 libraries work with Opera and 
those are the ones I recommend.

Why?  The glibc-solibs-2.3.1 package is 1mb.
I just downloaded the Opera 9 package (on dialup)
and it's 7mb.

It sounds like you didn't install Opera.
I'm not sure running it from the archive's
bin directory actually works.

It also works in 3.50.  So does Opera 9.21.

There is no need to retrace your steps.  You
just need to follow the recommended steps.

There is no need to wait.  Opera works with 3.50.
Simply follow the step-by-step instructions.
