Hello Sun-Managers,

I'd like to thank the following awesome people for the responds:

Roy Rapoport <rsr@ide.com>
Ray Trzaska <rtrzaska@uk.mdis.com>
Trevor Paquette <TrevorPaquette@aec.ca>
Vinh Tu <uq614725@hsc.hac.com>
Sean Ward <seanw@amgen.com>
David Schiffrin <daves@adnc.com>

Question:
---------

1) I'm currently allocated a 4GB disk for /home filesystem. It is now 98%
   full. What is the maximum filesystem size for Solaris 2.5.1? I can't
   find this on man page or documentation. Is it possible to concatenate
   two drives into one logical filesystem? If yes, what utility can I
   use?

2) I'm currently using CDE V1.0 that comes with Solaris 2.5.1. The
   background can be changed via the front panel. It can be select from
   the available list. How can I modify configuration and/or setting in
   DCE to let me add more backgrounds and/or select a user specify ones.

Answer:
-------

1) The maximum filesystem size for Solaris > 2.4 is 2TB.
   Soltice Disk Suite allows multiple disks to concatentated into one
   logical filesystem.

2) Nobody knows. I used to use mwm and fvwm. What I did to set my
   background on these windows managers was simple, using "XV".
   I tried this on CDE. It works but the built-in background that
   comes with CDE overlayed the one that I specified. Therefore, I
   can't see what's underneath.

Thanks everybody for your speedy responds. You have been very very
helpful.

Thanks,
--John
