However, "X11R6" apparently needs to live at "/usr/bin/X11R6 (real)." There could be others with similar requirements. I also read (I think) that a lot of transported utilities would break without "/usr/bin." Can I move things and change the mount so that "/usr/bin" (At "C:\\usr\\bin") is the real directory and "/bin" is the mount point that routes requests to that point? -- David A.
