[Sunhelp] How to safely uninstall X-windows & CDE from Solaris.

Hello Good people of SunHelp!

Thanks to Bill and Paul for guiding me about NVRAMs last time.
My colocated SparcStation is now running smoothly at San Antonio.

A remotely located Internet server needs no X-Windows, I hope.
We just use telnet and ftp all the time. So I like to create 
some disk space by uninstalling X-Windows, and CDE from my 
Solaris 2.6 installation, if I may. :)

Is there a completely safe way of clearing out all graphical
stuff from my server???

Any directions would be greatly appreciated and happily lapped up.

Thanks in advance!

Metin Ozsavran.
