Question: What is mossys: and sys:morphos ?
Answer: mossys: is an assign pointing to sys:morphos. The idea is that sys:morphos is a private directory for the operating system and you do not need to touch anything in it. A system upgrade will be done by simply putting a new directory (old one can be renamed, for instance). If you want to change the way the system is started, simply edit s:user-startup.

Question: I'd like to replace some MorphOS components with 3rd party equivalents. How do I do that ?
Answer: First of all, we do not encourage you to do so. Once you start to replace system files, you might experience severe instabilities. If you want to replace a library, for example mossys:libs/foobar.library, put your 3rd party foobar.library into libs: (which is sys:libs) and *rename* mossys:libs/foobar.library to mossys:libs/foobar.library,old (you can use any name but appending ',old' or ',mos145' is handy). The system will then fallback to libs:foobar.library. But you should really refrain from doing that as MorphOS libraries are heavily improved and extended compared to 3rd party equivalents.

Question: Is it safe to install any kind of 3rd party MorphOS updates to MOSSYS:?
Answer: No. It might work, but as you can read above: we advise to not do so.  Only the MorphOS development team can make sure that all components of MorphOS work together flawlessly. So do not risk system stability by adding unofficial software components to MOSSYS:
