Removing CDE and openwindows
Hi,
I have searched the internet and this site and cannot find a way to remove CDE from a sparc Solaris 8 machine.
I could run pkgrm on the individual CDE packages but would like to know if there is a more efficient way. 2.5.1 seemed to have had an uninstall script that 8 does not.
What applications should I leave behind so I can still run x on another host.
The reason for this work is that the Server now runs an asci dumb terminal.
Thanks,
blp001

How do I run OpenWindows on a Solaris10 Sparc system?
I know it has been discontinued, but I have some applications that only run on OpenWin. And I would like to run Solaris10 instead of Solaris8, hence the problem. Can I download, install and run it with Solaris10?
