I need to know how to uninstall my Opera program? I am on windowsxp/ linux.......I am hoping to re-install it again,
could any one help me please? Thanks

How did you install it? That will determine how it needs to be uninstalled. It may be as simple as:

Code: Select all

# aptitude purge opera

If you want to reinstall the same piece of software, you can use this command as root. You become root by typing su, pressing Enter and typing the root password.

Code: Select all

apt-get install -reinstall opera

Easiest way is to add one of the Opera repos to your sources.list
The Opera .deb Repository - http://deb.opera.com/
### Example apt source configuration (uncomment the version you want)

# Opera Browser - Production release
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ etch non-free
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ lenny non-free
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ squeeze non-free
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ sid non-free

# Opera Browser - Beta release
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-beta/ etch non-free
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-beta/ lenny non-free
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-beta/ squeeze non-free
#deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-beta/ sid non-free

To install the key on your host, do something like this:
Debian user

wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | apt-key add -
