Great  review!  In addition to justReader and Opie Reader - I\'d like to reccomend Gutenbrowser.  You can get it from Handango.  It\'s a nifty reader for accessing/downloading/reading texts from Project Gutenberg.  Its cool!!!

Software / Opera 7.30 and SL-C860

i\'d first check just to make sure opera is a symlink by using ls at the command prompt.  

Code: [Select]

# ls -l
in its parent directory.  the first character on the line should be an l (lowercase L).
after you verified that it is indeed a link, you can either use  

Code: [Select]

# ln -fs {source} {link} - or -

Code: [Select]

# rm opera && ln -s {source} {link}
the -f will force the overwrite of the current link. the other line just deletes the link and creates a new link if the delete is successful.

good luck

Wbslngr - Thanks for the tips!  After I did a straight remove of the old link and then created the new one Opera worked.  Thanks again to you both

Software / Opera 7.30 and SL-C860

PDAgal - thanks for taking the time to respond. Yep, I got the error messages.  I tried doing the linking again - the 860 said \"ln: opera: File exists\" ??

Any advice on how to force/overwrite the existing link(s)? :?:

Software / Opera 7.30 and SL-C860

I just read the excellent article on pdabuyer\'s guide re: software for the Zaurus.  Downloaded the Opera package from IBM and installed it without a hitch.  However when I attempt to run it,  Opera only runs for a split second, long enough for me to see that the menu bar icons are simple white squares.  I did the linking suggested in the article - no help.  I am using the standard ROM from Dynamism (not yet ready to start  flashing ROMs).  Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution??

Thanks in advance.
