How do you install packages on yellowdog 3.0?

[Enphilistor]

Jim,

Open up a terminal window (a shell).  In that window become the root 
user -- type su and give the root password when challenged.  Depending 
on which version of Opera you've downloaded the next line might change 
slightly but type something like:

	rpm -ihv opera-7.11-20030515.1-static-qt.ppc.rpm

You'll see a couple of lines of ########### characters and perhaps some 
warning
messages complaining about users and/or groups -- you can ignore those. 
  Then
type "exit" or "ctrl-D" to return to being a normal user.  You're done.
