Re: Internet explorer

I ended up moving everything in the ~/.ies4linux/ie6/directory into my real wine c directory and then making a symlink in ~/.ies4linux/ie6/ that pointed to it. This seemed to make the most sense, especially when it comes to the fonts I have installed in windows/fonts - I want these available system wide and didn't want to have to keep a copy in 2 places. YMMV.

Did any of you manage to successfully install and run Internet

Yes. With this short script: http://tatanka.com.br/ies4linux
Thanks for this suggestion. I tried it myself this morning, and it
worked. I too have 20050830 running. I have a question. It set up it's
own fake Windows directory under home/cj/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/  -  now
I have two of these, the second one being in the /.wine folder. Is there
some way to consolidate these so I don't wind up with two?
If there's nothing valuable in the .wine directory, it's easy:

rm -rf .wine
mv .ies4linux/ie6 .wine
and remove WINEPREFIX from the ~/bin/ie6 script


I can't say I'm knowledgeable enough to know whether there's something important in the .wine directory. After installing the 20050830 I used ./tools/wineinstall to install wine. This created many things in my .wine directory including many things not created by the ies4linux script. I am a bit leery of just trashing all that stuff. Is there a way to merge the two and keep what's already there? Also, I don't understand that last instruction. I looked for ie6 in all my bin folders, but I don't see it.
