I took a computer and installed Win 98, IE 6 and everything else I might want to run in wine on the 98 computer.
Then I took the drive out of that computer and put it in my linux machine. Made a directory on my /var partition called /wine and copied the entire Win98 hard drive over to the /var/wine directory. I set world read, write and executable permission on the entire /var/wine directory structure -- although it works without this I believe. I then installed the latest wine rpm for Redhat 8.0. I then followed the install instructions on the Wine.org site for IE 5.0 and 6.0 -- and now it works. Of course those instruction are not the best but they sure did help and now, after tweaking my config file some I have a working, stable, system. I could send you the contents of my .wine directory to help you out some if you want.
