It is really a small set of binaries, and I have to keep these numbers in mind.

The point is: opera has a complete different browser for each supported plataform. I mean, the opera browser running on the 77'device is totaly different from the one running over a linux desktop, that's different of those running on symbians, and on win-desktops, and on winCE, and so on. This isn't definitly what mozilla wants at all. The same sourcebase runs over all this boxes above (except, Symbian so far).

Well, So there are good and not-so-good issues about this choice of mozilla regarding portability.

What do you mean ?! It crashed ?!

that's absolutily true. I hope you can 'rm' opera from your /usr/whatever soon
