Follow what DavidPhillips said, then enter the opera directory that will be created when you tar xvf opera*tar and copy the opera executable to /usr/local/bin or wherever you keep your local binaries.
Hope that helps

thanks for the info. i am almost certain it,s just one little thing i am doing wrong, but sometimes takes hours to figure out. i seem to have hard time finding any info on installing files like this . maybe everyone is going the rpm route. i can install opera easy that way, but am determined to install the pre-combiled binaries. later ron
