If you are using binaries, then just use "sudo dselect" or "sudo apt-get install system-xfree86". If you are building from source, "fink install system-xfree86"
You absolutely _cannot_ move any of the core X11 stuff from /usr/X11R6 to anywhere else. As for moving fink, it is possible. See http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#moving-symlink I'm not sure about a tutorial. The fink web page (http://fink.sourceforge.net/) has some documentation. -- Alexander K.
