Choosing Local Display or Remote Display of the Uninstaller

You can display an uninstaller either locally or remotely while you are uninstalling Sun Studio 12 software.

Preparing for Uninstallation Using a Remote Display

1. On the display computer, enable client access to the X server by typing the following on the 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 that contains the product CD-ROM or downloaded files.

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

   rlogin source-computer-name -l rootname Password: root-password

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

   If you use the C shell, type:

   setenv DISPLAY display-computer-name:n.n

   If you use the Bourne shell, type:

   DISPLAY=display-computer-name:n.n export DISPLAY

   If you use the Korn shell, type:

   export DISPLAY=display-computer-name:n.n

   Replace display-computer-name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname entered on the display computer.
