The GZ advantage

After having successfully ran Flock in Opensuse, I tried using the same package to run it from PCLinux, installed in a different partition.
I copied the shortcut that was placed in the Desktop of the Opensuse partition, to the PC Linux desktop. Then accessed the properties, and changed the paths to refect the changed location. And that was enough.
The same unfortunately did not work for the Opera RPM. This could be because the rpm is too tightly integrated with the OPensuse architechture, to work in PC linux (unlike the GZ package which seemed to have no problems).


A few minutes later :
Downloaded and successfully integrated the Opera gz package. Had to use the Flock shortcut as the starting point. Made a copy of it and changed the path to point to the extracted OPera folder. This time no complaints about the libstdc++ package.
