Internet Explorer with Fedora Core

To install Internet Explorer 6 with Fedora Core, follow the instructions here.

Here is a shell script I use to quickly install Internet Explorer 6 (EN-US locale) with the Flash 9 plug-in.

install_ie6.sh

#!/bin/sh

IE_URI=http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-2.0.5.tar.gz
IE_TGZ=${IE_URI##*/}
IE_DIR=${IE_TGZ%\.tar.gz}

rpm -q wine cabextract > /dev/null 2>&1 || {
   echo 'The "wine" and "cabextract" package prerequisites must be installed.'
   exit 1
}

wget $IE_URI && \
tar zxvf $IE_TGZ && \
echo "n" | $IE_DIR/ies4linux --install-ie6 --no-install-ie55 --no-install-ie5 \
--install-flash --locale EN-US && \
rm -r $IE_DIR && \
rm $IE_TGZ

Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 plug-in

To install the Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 plug-in after installing Internet Explorer 6 above, run the following commands:

$ wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/rp505enu.exe && \ WINEPREFIX=~/.ies4linux/ie6/ wine rp505enu.exe
