Hello. I have a computer running Redhat 7.2 and the Wine pacakge. This computer has no Windows partitions on it. From what I've read it's easier to get programs to run under Wine if you have a Windows partition. I really don't want one because it only has 4 gigs of hard drive space in the computer and I only use if for Linux. Has anybody tried to do this before? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot Steve O

Looking at your subject you seem to want to know whether it is possible to run IE on Wine without a Windows partition. That will not work, IME. All IE versions from 4.0 have refused to install on mine. A working IE from a real Windows works fine though. udo -- This page is best viewed with your monitor switched on.
