Johannes, thanks for those links - looks like good tools. Can't get it to work though. Winetools reports that I have succesfully installed IE 6.0 Full (which is what I want) but i can't work out how to get it to run. when i type # wine iexplore or # wine iexplore.exe it just says wine: cannot find 'iexplore.exe' or whatever What am i doing wrong. I can run iesetup # wine ie6setup that works as expected. hmm suggestions? - Duncan
