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
