 (Don't hurt me :) - I don't spend time with that RH-install guide (but will
spend a lot of time with sybase docs from this week). I mailed to their
(redhat's) documentaion service and stated that 'dlh' translator must be
fixed, presented parts of html code it produces (excerpts from their
RH-install-guide), etc - they didn't answer me.

BTW, guys and girls, may be you know - sybase for linux is absolutely free -
no fee or licence for it if you do VAR development and ship it to your
customers (just don't develop biological, chemical and nuclear weapon with it 
and run it only under linux - this licence says).
