I guess the first obvious questions arewhat os and version are you trying to install on and what version of asp are you trying to install. In addition what web server and version.Duncan

Trustix Secure Enterprise Linux (release 2)Linux 2.4.28-2trDoes that help?

I don't think that is a supported o/s. Someone else might know better than me (like someone from sun).You might be able to fool it if you are lucky by creating an appropriate release file in /etc but I would go with a supported or at least semi supported o/s.Duncan

Duncan is correct, even if you manage to install ASP Server on this unsupported platform we can not guarantee it being stable.Please check http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0911-10/rnasp402.html#wp44803 for a list of supported platforms.

So, what are the odds it will work if I trick it into installing?And how do I trick it?

I doubt you will get it to work to be honest but if you want to play then you could try creating /etc/redhat-release with the contents 'Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)'. Not officlally suppported but it works and I don't have any issues with it.

Redhat 9 is based on 2.4.20-8 kernel.

Certainly if you are going to use this in any production environment I'd use a supported platform (or at least something like).

At a guess I think you will have library issues installing and there may be compatability issues with the kernel and the other software such as apache etc. As Trustix Linux is hardened it may well be that that alone causes it to fail.
