Has anyone succeeded installing IBM's db2(full version or free

C version) on Fedora 4? Although I can get by various stages of
installation, its not quite 'there' with the bottom line being that
its unusable on FC4. Someone at the Ibm db2 forum is telling me that
FC4 is too much bleeding edge and that it runs on his CentOS system.
Being with Fedora since FC2, and with kind folks on this list, I don't
want to switch, but I can't resist replacing mySql with a free version
of db2! (Ok, so I can't use more than 4 gig ram. Or quad processors.)
The sorry thing is that it does install, but utilities used to setup
the databases fail.
Anyhow, if anyone has db2 [express C] running on FC4, please gimme a holler.
Thanks;

For posterity:
db2 express c is running fine with FC4 and FC5.
The problem was related to IBM's java jre. I just used the standard
jre and it works fine.
Hope this helps someone.
