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.
