There is an easier way: Install everything they might want with one PC
with internet connection (after installing IE6 you will be asked whether
WineTools should save the downloaded files for later: say yes) and burn
the ~/winetools drive and WineTools to a CD. Give this to the others,
copy or better just link it to a ~/.winetools directory, install
WineTools there and use WineTools to install the software. You need no
internet connection there as all files are already in the ~/winetools
directory (also the one for IE6). The IE6 installer will try to connect
the internet but continues without errors if the CAB files are already
there.
