yordan 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 Er... Am I dreaming ? Are we talking about installing Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on a Linux machine ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 no, you're not dreaming, but IE6 should only be USED for IE-only websites like Yahoo! Launchcast or viewing Microsoft's website.Just launch the installer using WineTools, this is the best way to get things installed.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightfox1405241487 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 ok, I installed WineTools. but after I install IE6, I get a bunch of pop-ups complaining about a bunch of missing or corrupt files in C:\Windows\System32... [N]F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Hey Nightfox,Your easiest solution is to download and run ie4linux.I spent a long time trying to get IE6 working with WINE for FC5 and never realised that there was this installer which could have saved me hours. I only found it after I got IE6 working, which was a pity.Cheers,MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They claim Here you will find the most common files that may be missing or corrupted on your computer. Feel free to download at no cost!So, when you will have got all your missing files, things could happen to work correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
