Unfortunetly I gave up all of my windows software for FreeBSD a couple
of years ago now.  All I have is the CD that came with my laptop to
ghost windows back onto my machine.

I have emailed the port maintainer regarding this and wine is indeed
broken on FreeBSD and he does not have the knowledge to repair it.=20
The wine faq actually says that none of their team use FreeBSD so
there is no support from them for it either.

I would like to see this working again if possible.  Is there even
anyone out there who has this working already who could send me a tar
of their wine directory with ie6 installed?

Thanks
Chris
