As a matter of fact, you can, and as long as you haven't used the
minishell to change the default directory from the root, it will go to
the right place (/usr/X11R6/bin/X and /usr/X11R6/bin/Xmac68k).

You can use the "cpin" command from the Installers' minishell. The
minishell has "cd" and "ls" to help you set the destination directory --
for the source, you use MPW-style colon-delimited directories. The
easiest way to deal with that is to have the files you want to copy in
the same directory as the Installer. Then you can do "cpin _filename_
_filename_", without worrying about the Mac OS paths.
