i am trying to get ie6 installed, i looked at the aol boards and they suggested.
that i get Ie6 winetools aol communicator.
aol communicator will allow me to get online with my aol account. unfortunatly as i try to install ie6 it complains about ole missing. unfortunatly i cannot get online to download the missing files through linux. because i need aol communicator working to get online(think of it as a custom dialer)
so any help would be great.
i've used:
wine-20050111-mdk.i586.rpm Cedega-20041223-cvs.i586.rpm winetools-211jo.tar.gz wine-20050310-mdk.i586.rpm
i am using mandrake linux 10.1

Really?? Which provider is that? If it's AOL ("with my aol account" above), then it cannot be true: AOL has long since switched to standard TCP/IP access.
Even if not, then I'd *bet* there's a custom Linux solution for that kind of ISP. (or in most cases it's probably a slightly bastardized/customized/strange implementation of a pool of standard protocols, which should be quite feasible to configure it on Linux)

there is a dialer called penggy, but i couldn't get it working, me being a linux newbie. i was lost from the start. my best bet really was to use ie6 and attach aol communicator to it this would allow me to dial into the aol network. but unfortunatly getting ie6 installed view wine has proven to be rarther difficult

I know that a normal AOL dialup connection IS available, but some comment indicates that this might be Germany-only. Are you sure there still is no standard TCP/IP dialup available?

No, that's your worst bet. Wine is not made to do network setup itself, I'd guess that success probability is VERY low. Not to mention that using the IE plus AOL communicator combo on Wine can be a very daunting task as well.
So: 1. check whether standard TCP/IP dialup is possible 2. PengAOL (*much* easier(?) and *much* more useful than trying to use a wine-only AOL networking feat) 3. Wine
but unfortunatly getting ie6 installed view wine has proven to be rarther difficult
See?

ah i see, well they did suggest installing aol 7 on wine but everytime i did (they've done it) i kept getting aol needs to restart to install windows services. either that or windows needs to restart to install aol services.
and well it never gets past that, i will download penggy again later. and install. if i fail could you suggest a place to post about inquiries, on how to fix the issue?

Hello,
I don't believe what you want is going to work. I had AOL 6,7, & 8 installed and running at one time but I had to tell it I was on a LAN before it would work. So I don't believe the AOL dialer will work even if you get everything installed.
I could be wrong tho and the dialer may work just fine, I just never got it to work myself.

maybe you need to do wineboot after the install ?

I used penggy 2 years ago in France without problems. They had an active forum in those days. I guess your problem is with kernel 2.6/udev module configuration ...
