   Too late-- I did the dirty job last night. Take a look at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/sys6files.html

   Right now, it covers all the basics, such as all the directories
and files done by an 'Easy Update' (not customized up the wazoo)
install from the 6.0.1 installer. A bit of explanation is provided by
the files, ranging from "Required file for GS/OS to boot and run" to
more information in the cases of more optional files. I'll probably
flesh it out more to all of the files installable by the 6.0.1
installer sometime soonish.

   No comments yet on it, even though the version I posted to csa2
contained a few spelling mistakes, and the like. Somebody's sleeping
on the job... :)
