If you do not want to install CDE on your local desktop but still run it remote and check it out, here is what you do: You need CDE installed on at least one system on the same subnet that you are in You need Openwindows runtime installed on you local machine. HOW TO RUN: ----------- Simply come out of openwindows on your console and type. # /usr/openwin/bin/X -once -queryYou will get a dtlogin screen. Login and you will have CDE on your desktop. When you are done just click on the exit button and then you can start up openwindows. HOW DOES IT WORK: ------------------ This system on which CDE is installed is used as a server for running CDE on your machine. The command that you issue will run X server on your local machine and request the remote server to run its login onto your machine. The login process, dtlogin, will invoke CDE once you login.
