I want to give off IE,as a matter of fact ,I can’t,for example,I have to test my webpages I desiged on IE,you know,M$ ‘ IE is not fully based on CSS standard.Therefore,I installed ie4linux .Now,I would like to share my installation of ie4linux as below:


1.You need to install Wine and Cabextract.If your source doesn’t contain Wine and Cabextract,you can add this source:
Run sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and then add below two lines to your sources.list:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt feisty main

Run :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine
sudo apt-get install cabextract

2.installing the ie4linux:

(1)Download the source files by run: wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-2.0.tar.gz -O - | tar xvzf -

If above address is unsuccessful,you also can try this :

wget http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/~hardwarehank/files/ies4linux-2.0.tar.gz -O - | tar xvzf -

(2)and then run:

cd ies4linux-2.0
./ies4linux

(3)the installation is begining once you run ./ies4linux.You need to answer severl question during installation:

the fist question is that:

Welcome, ray! I’m IEs4Linux.
I can install IE 6, 5.5 and 5.0 for you easily and quickly.
You are just four ‘enter’s away from your IEs.
I’ll ask you some questions now. Just answer y or n (default answer is the bold one)

so don’t estate,just select IE6 and then press “ENTER” :)

the sencond question is :

Do you want to install IE 5.5 SP2 too? [ y / n ]
And do you want to install IE 5.01 SP2? [ y / n ]

as seldom people use IE 5.5,i believe,I choosed NO

the third question is :

IEs can be installed using one of the following locales:
EN-US PT-BR DE FR ES IT NL SV JA KO NO
DA CN TW FI PL HU AR HE CS PT RU EL TR
Default is . Hit enter to keep it or choose a different one:

Choose the locale you want.

(4)once you have selected the lacate,installing procees is done,and then you can run the ie4linux by this command on terminal:

/home/ray/bin/ie6
