    Opera Won't install?

    Ive recently installed opera on a 4GB partition and for some reason or other opera wont install whenever i download it. I try clicking on the .deb, but it just opens and then closes again. my guess is no enough hd space, as it installed fine before i re-installed 8.04 from the same partition. If it is a space option i guess i'll have to stick with konqueror.

      I can't usually run .deb by double clicking them I have to install the package through the console. Open a console and type:

      sudo dkpg -i path_to_package.deb

      Hopefully this will solve your problem or at least give us some information on whats wrong.

      Edit: Did not read the post above as thoroughly as I, obviously, should have.
