Go into the software manager and remove it.  Then reinstall it.  I 
couldn't tell you what it's asking you to do, since I haven't used the 
freeware packages in over a year.  Maybe it's asking you to make a 
symlink from some script into the /etc/rc2.d directory or asking you to 
install a script that starts prngd.

No doubt.  Octane, Origin and Onyx2 all have tremendous throughput and 
make excellent database machines.  XIO is a wonderful component 
interconnect architecture.  It's a shame that the O300s are PCI instead 
of XIO.

It's been two or three months since I tried it.  The last time I ran 
it, it was slow and liked to segfault on more complicated apps.  XTerm 
and rxvt were fine, but I'd be lucky if I could get WindowMaker to come 
up at all without crashing the X server.  It was probably just a 
maturity issue, since XFree hasn't been running on Cygwin for very long.
