Humm...OK, I know I'm not much of a Linux guy but I'm now confused. On
my system, before doing any of this link stuff the directory
/usr/local/bin already exists. How can I create a link of any type at
location /usr/local called 'bin' when the directory already exists?

All the -f does is force the issue which is a dangerous thing to do, isn't it?

Also, WRT the problems I'm having, I'm using wine-20041019 from source
and the IE6 installer crashed. What version of Wine are you actually
using? I'll switch to that in an attempt to completely duplicate your
environment.

Thanks,
Mark
