I will tackle the I.E.

** information pulled from http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/...llation:Ubuntu

1) Open a terminal

2) Open /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

3) Uncomment (or add) following lines:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe

4) Add this line:

[QUOTE] deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main[QUOTE]

5) Close gedit. Update and install wine and cabextract:

[QUOTE wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine cabextract[QUOTE]

6) Download IEs 4 Linux and install

wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/...-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux

Note for Dapper users: if you use ubuntu dapper, replace edgy with dapper on lines above. Note for Feisty users (7.04): if you use ubuntu Feisty, replace edgy with feisty in the lines above. Also replace gedit with kedit if running Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu.

[jonathan.gardner04]

For the Frostwire. You can download the .deb from there website and run

sudo dpkg -i /your/location/frostwire-xxxx.deb

Also replace gedit with kedit if running Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu.

Also replace sudo with kdesu.

1) Open a terminal

2) Open /etc/apt/sources.list

Best to use the command gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, since gedit is a graphical application.

3) Uncomment (or add) following lines:

Aren't the edgy repos offline now?
