Removing Asian language portions of installed software

[Kevin Bingham]

Hi,

I have recently been researching installing some new patches that are pre-requisites for some software that I want to install, and I noticed that there seem to be many Asian Language options for the installed software, e.g. Japanese and Korean Man pages and documentation/help.

How can I go about identifying all of these and then removing them.

For background info, the machine is L1000 running HP11.11, and these options seem to have come pre-installed with the machine.

Please give detailed instructions.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Kevin

Hi,

You can selectively remove them by
swremove command.

see man swremove for details.

Thanks, I was hoping for a more automated approach than going through every level of every installed bundle and manually removing the "dead wood"...

Anyone else care to contribute?

Does anyone else have any ideas on this question?

Hi Kevin,

I think that you can see what of those specific patches are installed with:

swlist -l fileset X11.X11-FONTSRV

After that, remove those you don't wanr with swremove...

Thanks for the reply...

What I was hoping for was an automated way of identifying and removing these foreign language filesets. My initial investigations show 100's of these, and I don't really want to remove them each individually using swremove if someone has a nice script (or idea) that would make my life a little easier...

Hi Kevin,

You may want to try this:

#swremove -i X11.X11-FONTSRV

And unmark those you want to keep!

I went through them manually using swremove -i
