I'm under the assumption that I could use ies4linux to enable html in programs if I install the program with them. However, I have no idea how to do it. I have downloaded/installed ies4linux already (and installed ie6). I'd like to know since the program I am trying to get html in (RealOne Player) works fine, but when Gecko tries to load html it crashes and burns, and I was hoping this might make a difference. Could someone show me an example of what I would have to do? ies4linux is installed to the directory /home/justin/ies4linux-2.99.0.1 if that helps any. Thank you. :)

They are a bit old, but still work for me on Fedora 7 & 8: https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/downloads/index.html In any case, using a program with ies4linux requires that you set WINEPREFIX to point to it. Something like: WINEPREFIX="/home/myname/.ies4linux/ie6"; wine realinstaller.exe And then run the program similarly, again with the WINEPREFIX setting.
Well to answer your question, I honestly didn't like v.10.5 for linux (it wasn't close enough to the one I like in my opinion) and I didn't know about Helix. Despite it's lagginess and bugs, the windows-native copy of RealOne works well enough for me. :) The other reason is I've been using linux (only the Ubuntu distro, and currently Kubuntu) for about a year now, and wine for a about half that time. I've got most of the commands I'll ever need to care about down, and this is just one of those things I wish to learn about more. Thanks for the help. 8)
