How we converted Sun 2/50s into "X terminals".

What we did was to strip down SunOS 4.0.3, removing that which isn't

needed. The process is:

1. Configure a stripped kernel (2/50 configuration supplied).

2. Edit /etc/rc and or /etc/rc.local to start up only >>essential<<

   network servers (e.g. /etc/inetd).

3. Edit /etc/inetd.conf to remove most network services (sample provided).

4. Change /etc/ttytab to start up X server.

5. Configure an xdm to service the terminal.

6. Reboot the new X-terminal.
