Netscape Killed Opera!!!!!! -- Help me

[KernelPanic]

This question will sound very n00b like but bear with me..
This is what happened:
1) I bought and installed Mandrake 8.2 Power Pack edition
2)I happily used the included opera version
3)Then I installed Netsape 6.2 (dunno why)
4)Opera stopped working :-(
5) Opera could no longer access remote WWW pages.
6) I reintalled the latest Opera version to no avail.

Now, I dont relly know what happened and would appreciate sum help.

ps. Wintel will eat your children.

There's no reason why Opera should stop working because you installed Netscape.
Have you checked if your proxy settings are still there?
Something similar happened to me when installing an ftp client, all my Opera settings were gone.
Just a matter of putting them back though.

I kinda don't understand why you installed Netscape since Mozilla is way better imo and it's included in the Mandrake distro??

If you have the plugins for Opera or Netscape, you can copy them into Mozilla's plugins dir.

Erm, just realized that you prolly weren't talking about Winblows :/
I don't know if it's the same system in Linux.
Until now I didn't have to download any plugin at all with SuSe.

The latest version of mozilla installs plugins with two or three mouse clicks....very easy.  Just go to the page that uses flash or whatever and it asks you if it can install the pluging....click click click....done.

Try it
