    I'm not sure why one would want to cripple an sgi by running CDE instead
    of IRIX Desktop, but there is a patch to install I think... I haven't
    tried it (and will never, ever do that to my sgi), but it should work...
    If you want CDE that bad, I would suggest investing in an HP-UX or
    Solaris box, not shooting IRIX Desktop with CDE...

    As for the disks, why not try xvm? It would let you do all kinds of cool
    stuff with your drives...
