It's running but it's not really a positive experience, because the
flash-plugin causes trouble.

- download this version as rpm
- install winetools from rpm
- use winetools to install ie6 and so on

optional:
- upgrade to the latest wine version (atm I am using
wine-20050524-1fc3winehq on core 4, newrpms also has a package for core
4 at http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc4/RPMS.newrpms/ )
- uninstall winetools because it doesn't work well and you won't need it
anymore.

as I said before: Install from rpm or install the compat-gcc-32 package
gcc32 to compile the source by typing 

 export CC=gcc32

before running wineinstall.sh
