>This chapter describes the important parts of a standard Linux
|
|
directory tree, based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
|
|
. It
|
|
outlines the normal way of breaking the directory tree into separate
|
|
filesystems with different purposes and gives the motivation behind
|
|
this particular split. Not all Linux distributions follow this
|
|
standard slavishly, but it is generic enough to give you an
|
|
overview.</P
