Foundation.2000 on Linux
Alright, all you Linux bigots, I'm finally trying to see if all this Informix on Linux stuff is worthwhile. I've installed Red Hat 6.1 and I'm trying to install the single-user-trialware Foundation.2000 CDROM, and it's just going off into never-never-land. There are no instructions for the install. Anybody know where to find install instructions? I remember a discussion a while ago about the RPM install. That's what I was doing, but does it also require all the preliminary stuff such as establishing an informix account and setting INFORMIXDIR? (getting too spoiled with the hands-off WinNT install). Thanks, yall Joe -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Lumbley(jlumbley@netcom.com) author of: "INFORMIX DBA Survival Guide" The DBA Survival Guide, Second Edition covers NT, 7.X through 7.3, http://www.dbasurvivalguide.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where did you get the rpm from? Thomas
