How does Opera do the equivalent of these?

You don't need alsa-oss.tcz, it runs with alsa.

Can't hear anything with vmware hardware though. Anyone got alsa to work in a vmware VM?

I'd suggest you open a different thread for this subject as it seems rather to be an issue related to vmware than opera.
IMHO, attempting to run a full bells and whistle browsers with all its features under vmware sounds like a really bad idea to me regarding as well speed as resources usage.
Ulysses_:
Browsing in a virtual machine is prefered because of its extreme security*. So getting opera to fully function in a TC VM is very much desirable. Especially given TC is very economical in memory so you can run several instances of TC in isolation from each other.
* any infection cannot access private data in the host, cannot infect the host, and cannot exist after a vm reboot if nonpersistence is selected or if the vm is disposed of.

That unpack command seems rather complex to me, I would simply
--- Code: ---tar xf operaversionname.linux.tar.bz2
--- End code ---
and no need to use sudo.

Yes, thanks. Your command has unpacked the bzip2 Opera beautifully in /home/tc.
The more elaborate command developed (courtesy of emelfm2) because, in order to save ram, I would normally be downloading the tar.bzip2 file to a usb, which is then mechanically write-protected. The file is then unpacked by script into /home/tc/ by script at time of use.
In this scenario, my efforts to have the the tar -x -f work have so far been blocked by the write-protect.
I'm very new to scripting, so suggestions will be welcome.
