Well, thanks again everyone. A few respondants wanted to know "why???" ;-)
Well I simply wanted the space back and openwin has been serving my needs.
I'll play with CDE when I can get more RAM or a sparc 5...
That said I would like to quote Vicky Lau <vlau@msmail2.hac.com>. Her
responce was most comprehensive. The first phase is to run the following
(off the CD if possible)
echo "y" | ./install-cde -uninstall
That leaves 3 more packages to remove, Here is Vicky's script for this:
for i in SUNWdta SUNWmfman SUNWmfdm
do
PKG_TEST=`/usr/bin/pkginfo $i 2>/dev/null`
if [ "${PKG_TEST}" != "" ]; then
echo "y" | pkgrm $i
fi
done
There is also some more clean up to do in /usr/dt. She suggests copying
/usr/dt prior to installing CDE so that it it easier to back out of.
Most of the other responses were along these lines :
pkginfo | grep -i cde
pkgrm SUNWdt*
Thanks to all who took the time to repsond:
