HOWTO Requests
Could use a How To for installing Internet Explorer
I have just started designing web sites, nothing fancy, but I have already run into a bunch of CSS related problems with IE and would like to test my sites with IE, just as I do with Firefox, prior to publication.
I need to find a way to run IE on linux, I have no preference for virtual machines / emulators or wine type applications - NO Dual Boot... but do need something that works. From my reading so far I cant find a solid recommendation or preferred method. What I have found is a bunch of people who managed to get it wrong for some reason ... could really use your help so I get it right.
Thank you

Re: Could use a How To for installing Internet Explorer
I do not see why you cannot use wine. It is a pure emulator - one application running within another. Oh well, your choice.Drewlong wrote:I need to find a way to run IE on linux, I have no preference for virtual machines / emulators or wine type applications - NO Dual Boot....
So, try this -

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
Re: HOWTO Requests
Thanks Palvakil, I will give wine a go. It wasn't a happy app on ubuntu but here's hoping it will be better on Debian.
FYI the mozilla plugin doesn't work on linux which is kind of disappointing as it looked interesting.

IE is also a simple install if you are using Crossover Office.
IE in a virtual machine would be best, IE doesn't act the same on Linux as it does in windows.

Re: HOWTO Requests
If you want IE7/8 you really need a virtual machine solution at this point in time. IEs4linux works fine for IE6. Virtual machine I recommend Virtualbox.

Re: HOWTO Requests

This tells how to set up the laptop as a "wireless bridge", which is what I presume you mean by "share connection".
I did that a while back, took notes, and noticed that there is no single howto that puts everything together. I'd been looking for an excuse to put it online for some time.
After doing that, I used scp to copy files between the two, but there are other options.

How to create a Mixed Mode CD?
On second thoughts, don't. I discovered it's an out-dated non-standard idea. I can mount them, so that's enough.

Though if you are in need of such a guide, you probably shouldn't be running testing...

Re: HOWTO Requests
I have already see that one but there is no Jessie instructions. And i need instructions for hybrid graphics. I have an Intel and an ATI card...
I'm sorry, I didn't mentioned that my case was an hybrid graphics case!
In the meantime I've created a thread in the forum about my case...
I needed an How To on how to setup my Debian to be able to control both graphics or to switch on the ATI card whenever I want because i'm going to work with Bricscad that needs some serious power processing from gpu...

Is it possible to share the internet to the tower via a router, so the laptop is connected to the router via wi-fi and the tower connected to the router via ethernet?
Re: HOWTO Requests
Hi,
If someone has the time, I'm trying to figure out how to write a script that will change my desktop background through a determined progression and NOT random. Every script I've come across in my search randomly selects the image. I'd also like to be able to set the time between changes, and for the image to be centered on the screen and unscaled.
My end goal is to have my background show a slowly aging portrait. I've taken numerous screenshots at different points of a video where the subject is aging rapidly, which is why I need the change to not be random. The images are numbered beginning with "1".
If it matters, I'm doing this in Raspbian via the Pixel desktop.
I appreciate the help.
