Retro Rocket uses a simple, structured file system. Everything is visible under the root (/) directory. This section explains what each directory is for and what you can expect to find inside.

Directory overview

• /boot - The boot partition.
  • On LiveCD it points to the EFI boot partition of the install media.
  • On an installed system it contains the boot files used at startup.
• /devices - The devices tree.
  • Device drivers may choose to add files to this directory which you may read or write to depending on the driver.
• /images - Operating system images and graphics used by Retro Rocket and its demos.
• /programs - BASIC programs and software.
  • /programs/libraries - shared BASIC libraries.
  • /programs/drivers - drivers written in BASIC.
• /system - Core system files and configuration.
  • /system/config - configuration files such as network.conf (used to configure the network interface).
  • /system/keymaps - keyboard layouts.
  • /system/modules - Kernel modules
  • /system/ssl - SSL root certificates.
  • /system/timezones - IANA time zone database.
  • /system/webserver - root directory for the built-in webserver.
    • /system/webserver/media - media files available to the webserver.
• /ramdisk - A temporary 1 GB RAM disk created in LiveCD mode.
  • Use this as scratch space for creating or editing BASIC programs.
  • Files here are lost when the system is shut down or restarted.
• /harddisk - Exists only when running from the LiveCD.
  • Used by the installer to mount the installation target disk.
  • Not normally used by end-users.

Retro Rocket does not attempt to hide or complicate its file system. Everything is in plain view, and you can explore with simple commands like dir.
