Hi
My university computers have Opera 7.2 installed, and /etc/opera6rc is
heavily modified (not sure why). When I install a newer version (e.g.
8-beta), how can I stop Opera reading this file? I can't remove
it/overwrite it as I don't have root access to the machines.
Is there perhaps a file containing the default settings Opera 8 uses which
I can place in $HOME/.opera/?
Thanks (I'm working on recruiting Opera users, currently 3 :-)

You can't, that's the whole point to these two files (opera6rc and
opera6rc.fixed). However, the /etc/opera6rc only contains default values,
whatever you set in your ~/.opera/opera6.ini file will override the
settings from /etc/opera6rc, so it shouldn't pose a problem (any settings
in /etc/opera6rc.fixed cannot be overridden by local settings, however).
