[BL] removing Opera 8.54

[Terry Maiden]

I attempted to do this but got frustrated due to the many separate files in many separate directories. I seem to remember there is a was to FORCE the RM command but I decided instead I would just remove the whole implementation of BL and recreate it when I want it again. I have three new versions of Puppy Linux to play with right now anyway, Racy, Wary and Quirky.

Here's a question though. When fooling with a install of Opera 9.64 I noticed there is a directory or file with the name "Works" which makes me wonder if there is a small office suite included in there along with the browser. Anyone know?

The puppy version pulp uses much less memory (10 MB without running
programs). See archives for a link to it. Most of the programs are gtk1
instead of gtk2. I use it on a laptop with 96MB RAM, with recent Opera.

It is a file not a directory.
Try zoho.com for online office suite. Needs broadband.

AT&T has been promising "High Speed" internet for years and years but has not delivered for where I live. The alternative is the cable TV company but their reputation is just awful for TV and everything else. I just have to make do...

Use a text only browser when possible (links or lynx) for better speed.
