Subject: Mount points: /bin, /usr/bin
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I see that, as installed, "/bin" is a "real" directory in which all the
binaries live,
"/usr/bin" doesn't have any content.  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?
