Some Hints:

1. The installation is rpm-based and doesn't use sapinst at all.

2. NW4 is based on SAP Db.

3. The rpms come as rpm.bin. These are self-extracting archives. Simply 
run them.

4. According to the install guide 11 GB are needed. This is not enough. 
I used a linux system with 15 GB, which was filled to 100%. With 20 GB 
the installtion went fine.

5. Don't use a distribution with a 2.6-Kernel. You need a 2.4-Kernel. So 
Suse 9.0 is fine, Suse 9.1 doesn't work.

6. There is a SAP linux mailing-list. Take a look at listserv.sap.com

Regards,
Nico.
