- [In response to several postings about how installing the Motif 1.1.3
- subset seems to adversely affect the DECwindows subsets....]
-
- People always act so suprised and then run off to their computer and
- immediately post to Usenet when something like this happens, when they
- _should_ run to the Installation Guide or Release Notes, which
- explains exactly this problem.
-
- Yes, the Motif subsets are installed on top of the DECwindows subsets,
- since they contain "Motif-ized" replacements for the DECwindows
- programs. This is explained on page 1-3 of the Release Notes (in
- section 1.1.5, "Subsets and Reinstallation").
-
- Actually reading these notes is left as an exercise for the reader.
