Directory Structure

ACOS has a specific directory structure that is preserved across all versions and used to organise local content of the computer.

Root Directory
The root directory ('/') is the default root folder of the specific computer. This directory should contain no files except  and only 3 real folders, as shown below.

No user space program has access to the root directory unless it is explicitly given to it by a superuser. That means that all user space programs are sandboxed into the  directory (or, more specifically, to the home folders of specific users).

/hdd/
The  directory serves as user space storage, i.e. the main storage. It contains user files, installed programs, mount points for removable media, libraries, temporary files and generally all data that is accessed at runtime through user space.
