That's a weird question due to the name of this forum; Knoppix forum :o

well morphix is based off knoppix... its not that far off base... right? im assuming many of the difficulties are closely related

The stuff in the wine morphics module can be different from what we have.
Anyway, I'm curious as to why on earth you want to run IE and the windoze version of acrobat reader ?? :-D

im building a derivitive for my employer... including a vpn client, and ie6 + some plugins since some of the web applications we use require them as opposed to something like mozilla and xpdf

I see, what should be done is fixing the broken web application that only works with IE but I guess you're not allowed to do that... I think you'd get more help at http://morphix.sourceforge.net/modules/newbb/
Haven't been playing much with wine myself, sorry.

Java, flash & acrobat all run natively under linux. Have you tried those web applications of yours under mozilla or possibly konqueror with a tweaked user agent id if needed?

[michaelsb]

sadly yes.. it seems IE is the only browser that can properly interpret this less than ideal web app.

sorry if this was an inappropriate place to post... ive posted the same Q on morphix forums, i just thought someone here may have some insights that could prove helpful since morphix and knoppix are rather closely related.

I would suggest getting wine/exploder/your apps to work togeher on an hdd installation of Linux then try to make your own morph. Morphix and Knoppix are really quite different.

Questions about Morphix, Knoppix STD, or any other remasters should not be asked in this forum. The simple reason being that there are far to many remasters/knoppix derived OSes (http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomizations).

Morphix has it's own support forum/mailing list, and so do many other remasters. If they don't then they should, or maybe they expect you to email the author directly.

BTW, get your boss to shell out $60 for Crossover Office : http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/cxoffice/. It runs internet expolorer - and free support.
