[DM-MUG] Leopard runs hotter?

[Darcy Baston]

The System folder is off the root (very beginning of) of your hard  
drive. The initial / in the path means the first most list of files/ 
directories. If you click twice in your hard drive icon on your  
desktop, or once in the left pane of a Finder window, you'll find the  
System folder in the first list. Same with Library.

The ~/ characters mean at the root of your Home folder, the folder  
that appears when you click the little house icon in the left side  
pane of any Finder window.

If you knew all this and I just misunderstood what you said, please  
forgive my repetition.

I don't think spotlight returns system related folders and files from  
the root level of the hard disk. To do a total hard drive search based  
on file and folder names and not file contents, you have to open the  
terminal utility and type:

sudo find / -name "System"

(type your login password when prompted)
