Owen - Thanks for the links below. I believe the FAQ for IBM DB2 UDB
v8.1 on RHEL 3 may hold the key to the problem I was having getting DB2
installed on Fedora! Thanks again for the info.

Here's a few more links, just in case it's useful. Picked these up
while
getting DB2 to work on FC2 a while ago. It was just a desktop system,
so
I wasn't worried about running it on a "validated" distro.
