I tried to install by running the setup file for ie6 from a CD. after about 20 minutes, (around 70% of the install) I found that the remaining 4 Gig on my HD had been entirely consummed and, when i typed 'df' into the console, my HD was at 100% capacity!
I had exactly the same experience. I didn't make any further progress.

Two websites I did use regularly only work with, sorry, I mean are 'optimsed' for IE5 - shamefully one of these is the UK Jobcentre plus (Uk goverment) website on which I want to use the job search function.....

The other is just an inconvenience.....
