        Two ways. First, (simple, but actually a kludge), do (as root):
                ln -s /usr /u

        Second, edit the xinit file (/usr/X386/lib/X11/xinit/[*]), and search for
        a environ var called "OPENWINHOME" (check in /usr/openwin as well.). This
        should be incorrectly set to /u/openwin; change it to /usr/openwin. All
        the XView/Openwin stuff base pathanems off OPENWINHOME.
