What is the best (read cleanest) way to remove this >version and install linux-opera-7? Wait, don't do it right now.. nork has made the mistakes when he committed my www/linux-opera7. I already have sent the PR to fix it. The best way? You can use portupgrade or pkg_delete and 'make install' in the www/linux-opera7. Be sure to backup the ~/.opera, then delete it. Copy the bookmark (~/.opera/opera6.adr) back in ~/.opera/ and it will work fine. I explained in the pkg-messages, but nork doesn't add this file when he committed it. Hopeful, one of committer will update linux-opera7 quickly, before I get multi-emails if everybody want to use it. >I'm asking because I had some issues with uninstalling one version of an >app and reinstalling a later version in the past.., Particularly where >it comes to shared dependencies (operamotif) et al. > >Can I take it for granted that where you mentioned on freebsdforums >(http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=9b43787a1839c584946536fd1f20f2f3&threadid=8714) >that the plugins "just worked" for you.., this was indeed referring to >Macromedia Flash (which version, by the way?) and Acrobat Reader? Yes, it just work by do this: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=523 (almost last year) BTW: I have tested Flash 5 (same way above link) with linux-opera7 and it just work, but I haven't test with Flash 6 and Java plugin, yet. I normal disable the plug-ins, but not when I am over at www.apple.com/trailers/ (use galeon or mozilla with mplayerplug-in). :-) Cheers, Mezz >Thanks again for taking the time. > >Regards, > >Stacey > > > Cheers, > > Mezz > > > > >Regards, > > > > > >Stacey > > >-- > > >Stacey Roberts > > >B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science > > > > > >Web: www.vickiandstacey.com >-- >Stacey Roberts >B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science > >Web: www.vickiandstacey.com _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
