Running Microsoft IE6 on Ubuntu 8.10

Filed under: Linux — virtrob @ 22:57

I finally decided to move from Windows Vista to Ubuntu 8.10 on my HP 6710b laptop and it’s works great so far. But some sites such as the Microsoft OWA site of my company who I work for doesn’t work well with Firefox. OWA works best with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
So I found a project that enables you to use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Ubuntu 8.10, please refer to the IEs4Linux project site.
There’s an instruction how to install the package on Ubuntu however they are for Edgy (Ubuntu 6.10).
Just replace edgy for intrepid and follow the instructions.
I had to run
the install script (ies4linux) several times before the installation was finished successfully but Internet Explorer 6 works fine now and OWA look great.
