"That's how 'IEs4Linux' was born, a script that 'automagically'
downloads and installs not one but the last three release versions of
Internet Explorer -6.0, 5.5 SP2, and 5.0- on any 32-bit linux desktop with
the wine core libraries in place. The installer program by Lopes
-released under a GPL licence- relies on 'wine' and a third party
utility dubbed 'cabextract' to decompress the windows archives downloaded
from Microsoft's site. The IEs4Linux program is at version 2.0 after a long
beta testing period that spanned from April to August."


"The ies4linux is a great example of user-friendly software: it checks
for the presence of 'wine' on the system -down to the build level-, wget,
unzip and it the tools it requires. After answering four questions
-namely which versions do you want to install, and in which language, it
starts to work fetching the required components and files -some of them
from Microsoft- with the ubiquitous 'wget' utility built into almost every
linux, and doing everything needed until its process is finished and IE
icons pop up on the linux desktop -for the record: I tested it with my
favourite one, Gnome, so your mileage might vary or not if you're running
KDE."
