I`m just not getting how to install a package in SliTaz, in this case opera. I`ve read the manual five times. I ran tazpkg install get-opera-1.00.tazpkg and it did and it shows it installed. Obviously I don`t get the whole package management procedure in SliTaz. Please explain.
The get* packages contain only one script of the same name. They (the script) download binary programs like Opera and Skype, and package them up, to give you a 'get' package and a working package. This means you use the 'get' package to download them, the working one to remove them.
You should have the 'get' package installed; run from the command line as root user: get-opera and it'll dash off and fetch Opera, and package it (and even install it) for you.
It's a bit confusing but it's because it's not a program SliTaz has generated and can't really trust/optimise etc. etc.

The other packages which are compiled and generated by SliTaz servers are simply a case of: tazpkg get-install [package] tazpkg remove [package] as you may have sussed out.

I've also updated the docs on this as I didn't realise it wasn't explained!
