So the fabled RPMs (actually spec files so *you* can build RPMs) are probably almost not entirely unready for human consumption now. I'm still tinkering with them, and I'll post random updates to the files... randomly, but they work reasonably well now. Once the RPMs are built, just install and type "iexplore" as a normal user and great hilarity will ensue. I've tested on Mandrake Cooker and RedHat 9.0. The gotcha on RH9 is that RedHat don't have separate wine and wine-utils packages, so you need to either modify the files or use --nodeps when installing. And use the wine packages at http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/. So, the URL: http://www.james.id.au/specfiles/ Mail me with feedback or questions.
