Choosing Local Display or Remote Display of an Uninstaller

You can display an uninstaller either locally or remotely while you are uninstalling Sun ONE Studio 8 software.

To uninstall using the local display, proceed to Using a Graphical User Interface Uninstaller or Using a Command-Line Uninstaller. To uninstall using a remote display, follow the steps in Preparing to Uninstall Using a Remote Display, and then proceed to Using a Graphical User Interface Uninstaller or Using a Command-Line Uninstaller.

Preparing to Uninstall Using a Remote Display

To prepare for uninstallation using a remote display, follow these steps:

1. On the display computer, enable client access to the X server by typing the following at a command line:

% xhost + source-computer-name

Replace source-computer-name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname command entered on the source computer, which is the computer on which the uninstaller will be running.

2. Log in to the source computer and become a superuser (root) by typing:

% rlogin source-computer-name -l rootname

Password: root-password

3. On the source computer, set your display to the monitor that is attached to the display computer.

If you use the C shell, type:

# setenv DISPLAY display-computer-name:0.0

If you use the Bourne shell, type:

# DISPLAY=display-computer-name:0.0

# export DISPLAY

If you use the Korn shell, type:

# export DISPLAY=display-computer-name:0.0

Replace display-computer-name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname command on the display computer, which is the computer on which the uninstaller will be displayed.

4. Proceed to Using a Graphical User Interface Uninstaller or Using a Command-Line Uninstaller.
