I sure can...here it is:

[otaku@otaku.users.netset.com]% ls -l /home/x/X11R6
total 14
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel   512 Jul 15 01:31 ./
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel   512 Jul 15 01:40 ../
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1536 Jul 15 01:09 bin/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel   512 Oct  6  1996 include/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel   512 Jul 15 01:04 lib/
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel   512 Jul 15 01:04 man/

[otaku@otaku.users.netset.com]% ls -l /usr/X11R6
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5 Jul 15 01:42 /usr/X11R6@ -> X11R6

There it is...

Thanks for your time,

Josh
