Myles,

There has been a bit of traffic on the caldera-users list similar to your posts 
here. To date, I don't think anyone has successfully installed 2.2 using what is
on the ftp site. 

I haven't seen any posts on caldera-users list from Caldera
personnel since the release - must all be busy with the backlog of orders and
Comdex. 

If you want to have a look, the list is archived at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/caldera-users@rim.caldera.com/
But don't expect to find any solutions there.

Still waiting for my CD to arrive.
