[uClibc]SD-OS2

[Phil Wilshire]

Hi Roy,
Much as it may be confusing for a newbie to understand the directory
structure 
creating a new one may not be a good idea.

You will not be a newbie for long and the understanding you need will
soon be acquired.

Once you get used to the file directory layout you will find many others
that understand it 
and most applications that you use will also understand it.


If you create your own ( even though  it looks like a good layout )
you stand the risk of having many problems later. You will also reduce
the maintainablility of any
products you produce.

The current file system layout has many years of history and hidden
reasons for its structure.
We are not just dealing with a small embedded device here we are working
with the whole Unix architecture.


best regards
  Phil Wilshire
