Works nicely thanks Roy - rather an ugly sight on an otherwise clean linux box :)
Apparently google earth's linux client is the same - basically the windows version running inside wine. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Britten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 30 August 2006 11:23 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: IEs4linux - a nice utility I've just tried IEs4linux http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/index-en.html It's a nice utility that downloads and installs a running copy of MSIE. If you have a need for MSIE for website testing or other reasons this runs much quicker than either vmware or qemu. Requirements are wine and cabextract, both of which should be available in your $DISTRO's packaging mechanism. The download is fairly small (~323K). Running the installer causes wget to fetch a bunch of files from Microsoft's web site. First impressions are that it is quick and stable, so long as you don't attempt anything too hairy like installing weird plugins. I'm not convinced that complicated DOM rendering is 100% right, but it's better than nothing. Legal from the website: IEs4Linux is free software, open source, covered by GPL. But IE is proprietary, copyrighted, and you have to accept their license. Note that to install any MS program included on IEs4Linux, you need a valid Windows license. IEs4Linux will not ask for it and you can run everything without any problem even if you don't have a license. But it is illegal and a I have not to do with this. And you should accept Adobe Flash EULA too.
