I received my Interactive "care" package yesterday in the mail containing the new 2.2.1 upgrade. I have an Adaptec 1542 controller, and was hoping to fire up this new upgrade. The problem is, after selecting upgrade, the machine returns: "grep: cannot execute" [ several other programs unexecutable ] returning to a "#" prompt. Lucky me. This seems to be doing the same thing as the 2.2 did. I must have been lucky to get ISC 2.2 up and running. Does anyone have a clue of what is going on? What in the hell did they changed from 2.0.2, which installed and ran perfectly, to 2.2?? Or better yet 2.2.1? Is it me? I have an AMI Motherboard 25MHz, 8mb memory, no cache, 387 co-processor with: Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller HP 308mb SCSI disk drive (external) Maxtor 200mb Internal HD Archive 150mb Viper drive Paradise 16-bit VGA card with 512K Logitech bus mouse Western Digital Ethernet card [ other unrelated stuff ] I have disassembled the entire computer leaving nothing but the motherboard, Paradise VGA card, and Adaptec controller with the HP drive on it. No mouse, no other special devices connected, not even the serial/parallel card. I'm stumped. I've paid alot of money for these new upgrades (2.0.2->2.2) also. Any help would be greatly appreciated/rewarded.... Brandon

I recently spent several months trying to install Interactive unix V2.2.1 on my 486 PC The problem was the paradise vga card needs to be plugged into an 8 bit socket. This is apparently in the release notes but I cannot find it anywhere. Once I moved the video card to the 8 bit slot Interactive installed just fine. Best of luck, Rob Corran. rco@atom.lhrl.oz.au rco%atom.oz@munnari.oz.au
