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,
