Trying to install IE6 under Wine, running Fedora Core 4, wondering if there is something I have to do to open internet access for Wine or so?
I get the message that the installation couldn't download all components needed for the installation. It seems like it wont connect at all.
Otherwise, how do I install IE6 using Wine, would be great to know ;)
Thanks.

I used winetools to install IE under wine. You can get it here: http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/
Don't know which version of IE it is, but it works. After having installed IE I removed winetools again (I don't need it), and I only installed IE, because another program running through wine needs the IE.
Internetconnection btw. is no problem. It's just there (at least with DSL).

How did you install wine to FC4? I was just STFA and came across this post. I see two other posts in the archives of people asking about installing wine on FC4, and the only one that was successful was an unofficial wine build from a gaming site.

Incidentally, I installed wine yesterday. I compiled from source the last release (20050725) w/o problems (previous releases had issues with GCC4)
I also installed IE6 after that. I didn't use winetools, as wine recently has changed many things in the way it manages its configuration, and winetools is no longer compatible with it (or the compatibility is not tested at best...)
I followed the method described at Frank's Corner: http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ie6 which is tested on wine 20050725

I have a question regarding this. In the readme, it states that XFree86-devel is needed, but FC4 doesn't use XFree86 but xorg-x11, correct? Do you know if xorg-x11-devel is a suitable replacement for the XFree86-devel requirement? Is that what you did?

On that page, he actually describes 3 methods: the sidenet utility, winetools (which I know you've stated above won't work), and a third way which he describes as a series of steps. Did you use sidenet or the series of steps he outlined?

Yes, xorg is a replacement of XFree86. Just install xorg-x11-devel.

I didn't try the sidenet method, because I was afraid it wouldn't work for the same reasons winetools doesn't work (both tools are similar). I went directly with the series of steps.
