opera install issues w/ configuration file prefixing


I'm having issues installing Opera on my Slackware 10 system. I'm getting the following error message:


root@sbc:/home/tim/opera-7.54-20040803.1-static-qt.i386-en# ./install.sh

Files will be installed as follows: -----------------------------------------------------------
Wrapper Script : /usr/bin
Binaries : /usr/lib/opera/7.54-20040803.1
Plugins : /usr/lib/opera/plugins
Shared files : /usr/share/opera
Documentation : /usr/share/doc/opera
-----------------------------------------------------------

Is this correct [ y,n,c | yes,no,cancel ] ? y
ln: `/usr/share/doc/opera/help': File exists

System wide configuration files:
/etc/opera6rc
/etc/opera6rc.fixed

cannot be prefixed

Do you want to install them [ y,n | yes,no ] ?


(I installed them)

What does this mean and what are the rammifications of installing them w/o them being prefixed?
Opera seems to run fine now, but I've had this problem before when I installed it and shortly thereafter I was getting an unending stream of the following error message:

Warning: Could not save hotlist file. Permission denied. /home/tim/.opera/opera6.adr

I was thinking that these error messages are related, but that's only a guess. I hope one of you can tell me more about it.

thanks
