To run Opera, you need a Pentium with at least 32mb RAM. It is a superior browser, but it is more complicated to install. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Upgrade main BL3 library
It takes two packages to upgrade the BL3 library. You will find full instructions here.
        pkg   glibc-solibs-2.3.1-i386-3.tgz
           pkg   misc-libs.tgz
 
Step 2:   Add some X libraries
All the X libraries you need are in one package called x-libs.tgz. You will find it in the BL3 add-ons.
        pkg   x-libs.tgz
Step 3:   Get the Opera 8  static-QT package
Go to http://www.opera.com/download/.  It will offer you a Windows version. Click on Show other versions.  Then click on Linux i386.  You will be shown a drop-down menu.  Select Other/Static DEB.  Mark the box that says Download this package in TAR.GZ format and choose your download site.
    
 
Put the Opera package in /tmp and unpack it:
 
        tar -zxvf   opera-8.???-static-qt.i386-en.tar.gz
 
That will create a new directory containing the Opera files.    Go into that directory and start the installation routine:
 
        cd  opera-8.???-static-qt.i386-en 
Step 4:   Install the Opera 8  static-QT package
        install.sh
| Note: | ??? represents the version/date of the Opera package. | 
| Use the actual numbers from the package you download. |
