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

I think it easier to disable CDE rathar than remove it from your machine just in case you may need it in future.

To disable CDE, stop dtlogin by issuing
/etc/init.d/dtlogin stop

then disable CDE from starting at boot up by
issuing

mv /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin /etc/rc2.d/DISABLE_s99dtlogin

Note
S99dtlogin on your system may not be called S99dtlogin, it may be called S80dtlogin or S70dtlogin.

when disable start up script like S99dtlogin make sure you rename to a lower case like s99dtlogin
