Title: Opera on OZ 3.2
Post by: BeKind on February 19, 2004, 12:46:23 pm

I\'m using Sharp ROM 3.13 for 5500 right now, but I\'m going to switch to OZ 3.2 as soon as I can get an Opera package that is going to work on it.

I\'ve tried installing opera  6 creator from the ZSI, but no packages show up in the package installer when I run it.  (The hancom and jeode creators worked fine.)

So, Prophet mentioned this Link:

BTW. You can get opera 7 ipk here:  
http://www.pdai.org/upload/mm_download_sl5600.ipk (http://www.pdai.org/upload/mm_download_sl5600.ipk)
- use manual install

Is this going to work on my 5500 running OZ 3.2?  What is a manual install?  (I\'m new to IPKs, I just got my 5500 yesterday.)

If that isn\'t the right way to go, how can I convert Opera 6 from the Sharp ROM into an IPK so I can have it under OZ?

Yes it will work, so will Opera (6) from one of the TheKompany ROMs\' app zip files.

Manual install? This probably means that you have to unpack and copy the files by hand. I don\'t know I only use Opera 6 (which installed fine using aqpkg - the graphical package applet).

How can I unpack an ipk file?  The utility I has only one option, and that is to install them.

There are two types of ipk file, try extracting it as if it were a tar.gz, if that fails try pretending it\'s an .ar file then use the standard tools to extract the data.

In this case the file will be a tar.gz so try:

tar -zxvf opera_blah.ipk

You will get 2 more tar.gz files, one with scripts the other with the data.

Thanks a lot, Lardman.  Exactly what I needed to know.
