Thanks.

I have linux_base-f8-8_10 installed here. It looks like Opera now required  
glibc 2.4, which is available in f8 but dunno about f6. I will have to  
uninstall all of my linux_* ports and test it with linux_base-f6 to see if  
it will working. For I can edit the USE_LINUX in the Makefile by change  
 from 'yes' to '6', '7' or else what it required. I think the emulation@  
team said that it's recommend to have f8 or above. Not sure, need to check  
w/ them.

Since linux-opera now requires newer linux_base than f4, so it is going to  
force you to set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in your /etc/sysctl.conf  
before you can upgrade your linux_base. The compat.linux.osrelease only  
exists in FreeBSD 7.x and above. The FreeBSD 8.x sets to 2.6.16 by default.

BTW: Add emulation@ in the CC for they can correct me if I said anything  
wrong with Linux emulation stuff related.

Cheers,
