Mounting an Installed CDE from Another Workstation or Network Server Installation Location

You can mount an installed CDE from another workstation or network server installation location if you do not have the required disk space on your workstation, since this procedure does not use your local disk space.

Since the /usr/dt directory structure differs between Solaris releases and client workstations (SPARC directory structure differs for the Intel directory structure), the client workstation must mount the appropriate NFS server /usr/dt image. For example, a SPARC system with Solaris 2.5 would mount /usr/dt from another Solaris 2.5 system with /usr/dt installed CDE.

To Mount an Installed CDE

1. Mount a /usr/dt directory from a previously installed workstation or network server to the /usr/dt directory on your workstation.

2. Type /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -inetd

3. Enable the Solaris Desktop Login by typing:

   	/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e

4. Reboot your workstation.

   For more information about the desktop configuration utility, dtconfig, see Appendix A, dtconfig(1) Man Page. It provides a copy of the dtconfig(1) man page.

To Unmount a Mounted CDE Directory

1. Disable the Solaris Desktop Login by typing:

   	/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d

2. Type /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -inetd.ow

3. Unmount /usr/dt.

4. Reboot your workstation.
