Opera works great.
But I have this problem..
I tried different versions of opera from pkgsrc with different versions of NetBSD-current.
Sometimes I want to use opera to browse html docs and most of them resides on nfs-mounted partition.
When you point opera at file://some_dir and this some_dir is local, all works great,
you can browse some_dir in opera.
But if some_dir is nfs mounted then it works great only at first sight.
Some of directory entries are skipped by opera.
Wonder does it work so on Linux or is it an artefact of binary emulation?
