# Is it possible to run the solaris version of internet explorer on freebsd?

I believe that the Solaris version of Internet Explorer (both 4.x and
5.x) are for the SPARC platform only, not the x86 platform. Also, even
if it was available for the x86 version of Solaris, it uses some of the
CDE and other (possibly) propietary libraries that are only available
under Solaris.

One possible way to attempt to run it is to connect to a Solaris machine
with X11 forwarding and launch IE from the session on the Solaris
machine and see if it will run or not. I'm not sure and I highly doubt
if it will run properly :)
