Installing Sybase server from RH ftp site
Yesterday on http://www.redhat.com/ they were offering a free download
of RPM package of the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and of its
docs. You are asked to register but can access the ftp site directly
(ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/sybase/) if you prefer not to do that.
Has anyone tried to install these on a Debian system either with rpm
or with alien calling rpm? Since it will be a big install and I need
to clean up the root partition to do it, I would appreciate hearing if
others have been successful with these.
Please respond to me as well as to the list. I usually don't have time
to read the entire mail list and would prefer not to miss a response.
Here is what rpm on a Debian 2.0 system reports about the packages:
