Installing Opera 8 on FreeBSD
I'm a n00b to UNIX, but I'm making much progress. My preferred browser is Opera, and the ported version with FBSD 5.4 is Opera 7.54. Because I lost my opera key, I'd prefer to have version 8 which does not require a key. How can I install the .tar.gz on FreeBSD? I am somewhat familiar with installing it on Debian Linux, but this a new thing for me.
Best regards,
James

git-web--browse
GIT-WEB--BROWSE(1) Git Manual GIT-WEB--BROWSE(1)
NAME
git-web--browse - Git helper script to launch a web browser
SYNOPSIS
git web--browse [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ...
DESCRIPTION
This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already
opened web browser.
The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported:
o firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE)
o iceweasel
o seamonkey
o iceape
o chromium (also supported as chromium-browser)
o google-chrome (also supported as chrome)
o konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see Note about konqueror below)
o opera
o w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments)
o elinks
o links
o lynx
o dillo
o open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI)
o start (this is the default under MinGW)
o cygstart (this is the default under Cygwin)
o xdg-open
Custom commands may also be specified.
OPTIONS
-b <browser>, --browser=<browser>
Use the specified browser. It must be in the list of supported browsers.
-t <browser>, --tool=<browser>
Same as above.
-c <conf.var>, --config=<conf.var>
CONF.VAR is looked up in the Git config files. If it's set, then its value specifies the browser that should be used.
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser
The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed with the -c (or --config) command-line option, or the web.browser
configuration variable if the former is not used.
browser.<tool>.path
You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by setting the configuration variable browser.<tool>.path. For example,
you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting browser.firefox.path. Otherwise, git web--browse assumes the tool is available in
PATH.
browser.<tool>.cmd
When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
browser.<tool>.cmd configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then git web--browse will treat the specified tool as
a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with the URLs passed as arguments.
NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR
When konqueror is specified by a command-line option or a configuration variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the HTML man page on
an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.
For consistency, we also try such a trick if browser.konqueror.path is set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to
launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead.
If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like the following:
[web]
browser = konq
[browser "konq"]
cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror
Note about git-config --global
Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using the --global flag, for example like this:
$ git config --global web.browser firefox
as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See git-config(1) for more information about this.
