I would like to set a different alternative for a regular user. As I
understand from man update-alternatives this is the idea behind the
alternatives system. However only root can make (system-wide) changes to
the alternatives system.
Is there a way to have x-www-browser point to /home/M8ram/bin/startopera
for the user m8ram while pointing to /usr/bin/opera [1] for all other
users?
TIA
Bram
[1] I had to add this alternative with:
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser \
x-www-browser /usr/bin/opera 140
(debian testing, opera version 8.0-20050104.5)
