hi.

going to install opera tar.gz file

was sort of experimenting, i have downloaded this file that is in the home/ronss/documents-opera-6-03-20020813.1-static-qt.i386.tar.gz

i then extract to - a created file/home/ronss/opera- and the tar.gz opera file was placed in this file as-opera-6.03-20020813.1-static.qt.i386

1.did the -extract to- uncompress the file

thanks ronss

try "file <filename>" and you'll see if it's an ELF executable or a gzipped tar archive.

thanks, i did get opera intalled on suse 8.1 using yast. i will continue working with tar.gz files, did get opera installed on slackware 8 about 1 year ago using a tar.gz file, suse 8.1 seems to be somewhat different, espically the archiever.
