We just got a new model 125 and AIX version 2.2. Installation continued
smoothly until I was asked to insert Operating System Diskette 1. There
were no diskettes labeled as such, but it seemed pretty obvious that they
meant Base diskette 1. So, after inserting it, it said that the diskette
was not readable. I checked it out on an AT and sure enough, it hadn't
been formatted. The other diskettes (2 through 7) were OK. This was
two weeks ago. The same day we reported the problem to our sales and
technical group. They said that no-one in Atlanta had 2.2 yet so they
would have to order another copy and it would arive in 2 days. It's
been two weeks now and they still have not been able to get the new
distribution. Was I the only one to receive a bad distribution?
My only real problem with this situation is potential problems with
installations at our clients' sites. After attending the AIX conference
for MAPs last week it seems that IBM is REALLY dedicated to AIX on their
entire product line. I just wish that the sales and support groups in
the field could get up to speed with the new LOOK.
