Hello, I'm learning CSS2 and I want to use Quanta+ chipped with my Suse 9.2 to code it. But when time comes to do some compatibility testing, I'd need to test my site with IE... So instead of always rebooting and switch to WinXP (and I don't have money to buy VMWare...), I'd like to install Internet Explorer with Wine. I tried several method : http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ie6 http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ie_wine_install.html but IE always crashed before being usable. Is there someone that has been able to do it ? Is there webdeveloppers around ? :-) Thanks, Fred

Hello, You are right but IE6-SP1 and a lot of other apps work fine with cxoffice which is not so expensive than VMware. I run it daily. At a time SuSE sold a CD called SuSE Wine Rack, I discovered that with it. Michel.

I have Crossover Office installed. This is a commercial front-end to WINE.
The CodeWeavers people are very good at getting MS Office and other major
applications running under WINE. While I don't generally use MSIE, I
currently have it up and I have downloaded and installed Service Pack 1.

I've jsut installed IE with CrossOver 4.1 evaluation version. It works well. I think I'll buy it by the end of the month. Being forced to pay to run MS apps... crazy isn't it ?

Yes because you are still running MS code even though you are running it in an emulator. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Yep, so be careful which linux directories you map as drives in wine's config. A destructive windows virus can wipe it all out In fact, a virus that knows it's runnig in wine can probably do nasty things anyway, since a wine program has access to any syscall a linux native program does. It can be dangerous

I recently came across, and installed, a plug-in for (Windows) Firefox, which I think also works in Mozilla. Unfortunately, I can't remember what it's called. It's supposed to make Firefox read stuff designed so that only IE can read it. Not sure if it actually works, since you only find out when you _can't_ read something. Also don't know if it works on Linux Firefox versions, but I don't like IE, I think it's a hazard, so it might be worth following up. --doug -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

The only time I have run MSIE on my work computer (under Linux) was when answering the email. Mostly I have been using it for Word XP because the white paper template does not render well under OpenOffice :-(. -- Jerry Feldman

Not all bad since Codeweavers gives most of the code back to the wine project. So in a way you are supporting wine. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
