I installed the free 12.5 developers version on Redhat 8. The PC is fast
enough but with only 512MB of RAM. I allocated the minimum 64MB of shared
memory. When creating a new server in srvbuild it took a long time for the
process to complete (I thought it had crashed until I read the init/logs
files). One part especially slow was the running of the installmaster
script. The master device was assigned as 50MB with master db of 40MB. The
default of 120MB for sybsystemprocs was also used. Would there be any reason
why the server creation took so long? It was never this slow installing the
free 11.9.2.

You can try 12.5.1

It's optimized for the RH EL (Enterprise Linux) category of systems. When
used there the database creation scripts are quite fast, especially over
raw devices.

Does it mean Sybase will not plan to support RH8/9?

At the moment, yes. The official support is for the enterprise versions of
RH and SuSE.

That said ASE runs fine on RH 7.x and 8, and there is a valid work-around
for 9.
