Hello, SheldonIsaac.
Thanks for the handy "vacuum cleaner" script!
I'll let playdayz explain what he means by "conventially installing".
As for me, this is how I do it:
* I download the opera *.deb archive (from URL mentioned above) to
_ /mnt/home
* I unpack it with pupzip (aka xarchive)
_ You should now have an opera folder with the version number and
_ another number in the name of the folder, all in one go, without spaces.
* I enter this folder
* I make the executable files opera and install executable!
> Now, if you click on the "install" file, it will integrate opera with
_ your Puppy system, at /usr/lib/opera and /usr/share/opera, etc.
_ and it will create the personal opera files at /root/.opera
> If you simply click on "opera", opera will not integrate in the Puppy.
_ It will use the files where they are, at /mnt/home/opera-tralala-tralala
_ Instead of creating /root/.opera, it will create a personal profile folder
_ at /mnt/home/opera-tralala-tralala/profile.
The size of your personal
_ pupsave file will not be affected, even with the log files piling up.
> You'll still want to use your "vacuum cleaner" script on those log
_ files, but given they are located outside your pupsave file, they'll
_ only slow down the launch of your opera, not eat up any of your
_ Puppy space.
So, click on that "opera" file!
Not on "install"!
Other benefits:
* you can use the same opera version and profile with other Puppies. You
_ configure your opera browser once, and that's it.
* you can copy your previous configuration files for opera (*.dat, *.ini
_ and *.adr) in your profile folder. (Careful here: config files for last and
_ before-last versions are usually ok.) This can save you perhaps an hour
_ every time a new opera version is published.
If the above is not clear, get back to me. (Or even
at me!)
Bye for now.
