I'd like to install opera 7.3 for my sl-5500 on my sd card, i tried it, ipkg said it was for main memory only -- is there any way to override that for future reference? By doing this, opera 6 is no longer found on my device In desperation I'm installing it to main memory but now I 'click' on it and nothing happens. When I try to run it from the konsole it said "Bus error" nice eh?
I'm stuck on my Z without a browser now, any ideas?
((a note, ipkg did have an error when I installed opera 7.3, it said that all files had not been extracted succesfully))

What are pros and cons of installing 7.30?
-
If it says that not all files were extracted successfully then i suggest that you may have a corrupted file.

After 3 attempts from downloading it from a couple different computers and feeds ... I've concluded that maybe its a bad ipkg all together. Has anyone installed it on the Sl-5x00 and had it work?

I installed opera 7 on my sl-5500 with no problem at all. You can download the file right here on zug downloads, under packages/applications (that's the one I used). I am running standard sharp 3.13 rom. I installed it to the internal memory. Hope this helps.
--note-- do not try to uninstall opera 6, because you can't.. I think opera 7 overwrites opera 6 (not sure though).

yup -- i got it from the download section here -- but it didn't work for me -- gave me errors and overwrote the symlinks to opera 6 .... I kindof have opera 6 useable again ..... i copied it from QtPalmtop.rom to my SD card because I didn't know how to redo the symlinks from the .rom folder -- it always gave me errors. Now though Opera tries to open ipk files when i try to download them instead of opening them with the package manager and does a few other weird things like that.

Sounds like you need to do a reset, then install opera 7, and not do a restore of whatever else you have. You might have some gobblety-goop in your backup. Maybe a clean install will solve your problem.
