Business Objects Enterprise under Red Hat 4

I've spent the past 4 days preparing a Red Hat 4 virtual machine for installation of Business Objects Enterprise 3.1. It was a pretty thankless task.

I like to play around with Linux now and then but the lack of available documentation on this had me stumped a few times.

I'll be posting a howto in a few days when the documentation is done but if anyone at SAP is listening: a little more information would do down well.
