Slackware 11 libqt 3.3.6 works.

Opera 10 needs the following libraries (Slackware 8 is missing at least 
libXft.so.2) which are found in Slackware 11 and not needed by
Opera 9.6, Firefox 2, or Seamonkey 1.1.7

They total about 1.5MB, plus 7.2MB for libqt, and 11.8MB for opera binary,
and there is a bunch of other files that come with Opera.

libmng.so.1 (from a mng package)
The rest are from x11-6.9.0-i486-11.tgz
You don't need all of the package, just the so libraries listed.
Unpack and copy them to /usr/X*/lib and ldconfig.

libfreetype.so.6.3.7 (436K)
libGL.so.1.2 (535K)
libXft.so.2.1.1 (62K0
libXrender.so.1.2.2 (36K)
libXrandr.so.1.0.0 (364K)
libXcursor.so.1.0.1 (13K)
libXinerama.so.1.0 (9K)

If I get this working I will post a package for Opera 10.  To add to the 
operalib.tgz package (and you also need the firelibs.tgz package or glibc 
2.3.6 from SW11 plus libstdc++.so.5).

The sun is gone and the temperature in F on the deck here is similar to my 
download speed, under 45.
