Hope this helps.

Help!
I performed a sys-unconfig as suggested in one of the other threads to set up IP on hme0. Unfortunately after all is said and done, it no longer boots to the CDE but sits at a command prompt. Any ideas (I don't know Unix). Thanks in advance!

I was wondering, if I boot up a Solaris box and the CDE does not come up by default when I log in, does that mean that the box has a GUI at all? If that is the case, where can I download CDE from?
I am accustomed to RedHat and Windows, so unfortunately Solaris throws me off a little bit. (1 Reply)

NAME
sysman_intro - Introduction of SysMan applications
DESCRIPTION
SysMan is a suite of applications for managing Tru64 UNIX systems. The SysMan applications provide a simple, easy to use, graphical user
interface (GUI) for common system management tasks including installation and configuration.
When you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Guide, the installation GUI, Installation Setup, is displayed automati-
cally.
To help you prepare the system for general use, the Tru64 UNIX: System Setup checklist is displayed when you log in as root for the first
time after performing an installation.
SysMan applications and help are available from the Application Manager (tool drawer) icon on the CDE front panel, or from the SysMan
Applications panel above the SysMan Station icon on the root CDE window.
For additional information, see the Welcome to SysMan help volume by performing the following procedure: Click on the Application Manager
icon (the file drawer) on the CDE front panel. Double click on the System_Admin application group icon. Double click on the Welcome to
SysMan icon.
If you are not running CDE, but have installed it, you can open the Welcome to Sysman help volume by entering the following sequence of
commands at the command line: /bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export PATH DTHELPSEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/%H export DTHELPSEARCH-
PATH DTUSERSESSION=${USER}-`uname -n`-0 export DTUSERSESSION dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION dthelpview -helpVolume browser
