Install Vivaldi in Elive 3.0

Special thanks to stoppy98. i managed to successfully install vivaldi.
this is what i did.

followed the steps as below

mkdir ~/Documents/elive_repos
mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/Documents /elive_repos/
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add these lines to the file:

deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

Moveout of X11, so open a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and kill lightdm (or whatever your desktop manager is)

/etc/init.d/lightdm stop

then update apt and install the needed library updates:

apt-get update
apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev libc6-dbg

then installed vivaldi as i had downloaded the recent deb package earlier

dpkg -i [downloaded vivaldi package.deb]

then bring elive to status quo…

rm /etc/apt/sources.list
mv ~/Documents/elive_repos/* /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
rmdir ~/Documents/elive_repos
apt-get update

Thanks a lot and i am now posting this from vivaldi.
