2354.0. "How to install DECWindows on an existing Ultrix system" by CERN::EJM () Mon Feb 26 1990 09:54

We're trying to install DECWindows on our 5400 which came with Ultrix already 
installed.  Unfortunately, setld will not allow us to install DECWindows without
also smashing our system for a full installation.  How do we get around this
problem??  Is there a way to override setld's default desires that we haven't
found yet??

	Thanks,
		John

	In asking the same question I've been told to read the release notes. They mention a proceedure to create the necesary files that will convince the UWS 2.[12] installation that ULTRIX 3.1 is actually installed on the system. The setld installation will then not clobber existing base system files. Please check your documentation again. Dan
