Sybase ASE 12.5 states these requirements:


Linux with Intel architecture, Pentium II, 230 MHz             
                                
· Kernel ­ version 2.2.14-5.0
· Run-time environment ­ glibc-2.1.3-15
· RPM ­ rpm-3.0.4-0.48
· X11R6.4 ­ XFree86-3.3.6-20
----------------------
If you plan to use raw
disk I/O, you need
kernel 2.2.18 or higher.

I don't plan to use raw disk I/O; my databases will be stored in
ordinary files.  

Is there any chance this could be make to work on NetBSD?  I'm going
to try, if it's not definitely stupid.  

Thanks.
