I have tried to install opera 7 and it doesn't work -- suprisingly!! Grr.. (hint the note of sarcasm there)
I now have to install qt3 or something to get it to work!
But what I would like now is to uninstall what is there and begin again... and how do I go about doing this - I notice a rollback prog in the usr/shareopera/blha/blah folder and have tried this but it also needs this qt3..
so ho do I uninstall opera - or anything else easily for that matter?
I guess what I'm asking is - there is no uninstall function like in windows, no? *cough spit* sacrelidge i know - but is there?
It all depends on what distro you're running, and what you did to install it. If you use a distro that has a package manager and used it to install, chances are the package manager will also uninstall, too.
RedHat9 and I used .rpm from the command line and then tried to use sh install.sh but am missing this qt3 module - even though its there.
I see that this is a common problem with the installation of opera.. and so thought I would remove what was installed and instead use a static version.
