Nice to hear. Would be glad to save much time and workload for our 
customer's servers.
These days I found the SapDB/SuSE package for 7.x and 8.0 not very useful.

SuSE 8.1 is not reality for now. The buggy 8.0 is.
But would be happy to get this fixed. 
SuSE 8.0 was IMHO released to fast and has got much to much errors. The 
trouble shooters here made much overtime because SuSE released the 8.0 to 
fast and cut of the startup support lines by repcing it against 0190- 
service numbers.

Got to much troubles before.  Our 8.0 worksations were upgraded from prior 
versions some of them since Version Suse 4.2.1. The upgrade procedure was 
a shame for SuSE - each release by release. Big sucker was releasing JFS 
filesystem in 7.3, which caused only troubles and data looses and much 
more.

Nowaddays we are suposed to replace all Suse 7.x and 8.x systems against 
debian 3/woody. We were fairly long customers of SuSE distributions. But 
we were much too much disapointed. 
I think the try out of 8.1 will be the last chance to make a good update. 
But this is not the point here. 

Fact is: SapDB was not really supported in SuSE distributions.
