Sybase recommends that you patch up your system to the latest available OS patches before installing Adaptive Server components.

Contact your operating system provider for any patches recommended for your installation. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor, even if it supersedes the patch listed.
