Linux Directory Structure (RootFS)
Linux Directory Structure also known as 'Filesystem Hierarchy Standard' and 'RootFs' defines the main directories and their contents in Linux operating systems, including Puppy. In frugal installation it is held in a series of compressed files BaseSFS, SaveFile Pup SaveFile and other SFSs.
Useful Directories
/mnt
Any media or filesystem that is mounted will have a folder here including hard-drive partitions, cds, usbs and archive files such as SquashFS SFSs. In frugal mode only files saved in this directory will be outside the SaveFile PupSave file.
/usr/share/applications
Installed applications with a menu entry will have a link file here, see AppsDesktop .desktop files.
Advanced Directories
/proc
Broadly speaking contains two main groups. Numerically named directories corresponding to the process ID (PID) of a process currently executing on the system. The second file non-numerically named directories and regular files describe some aspect of kernel operation.
