I understand that, and the installation and use of X should be the exception, not the rule. Software that require X for installation being the exception (but should be encouraged to provide a non-graphical alternative).
I still think in this shared environment that we should not be tempting admins with the potential to be starting up graphical environments on any whim. DB2 does have a silent installation option, X is not required (and it goes ALOT faster). Fargusson.Alan wrote:
Some products can only be installed from an X11 session. It seems like DB2 is one. I didn't do the install, however the person that did the install told me he had to use X11. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rich Smrcina Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 7:24 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: What is a good generic disk layout? At first glance, looks nice... but, X and a graphical desktop? Should we be encouraging this? Or does the speed of the z10 make it a moot point? Will 10, 100 or 1000 KDE desktops on a z10 matter?
