In this setup, non-global zones see ``/opt/csw`` as mounted read-only. Any
local state needs to be kept under ``/var/opt/csw``.
+Inside the ``/opt/csw`` prefix, the typical hierarchy rules apply. You can
+consult the Debian `filesystem hierarchy standard`_ for an overview. A short
version is:
+
+* Executables go to ``/opt/csw/bin`` ``/opt/csw/sbin`` ``/opt/csw/libexec``
+* Shared libraries go to ``/opt/csw/lib``
+* Architecture-independent files go to ``/opt/csw/share``
+* Documentation goes to ``/opt/csw/shared/doc``
+* Manual pages go to ``/opt/csw/share/man``
+
+What's special about the Solaris directory hierachy, including OpenCSW is the
+possibility to include binaries for multiple architectures in a single package.
+The standard is to create a subdirectory under ``bin`` named after the
processor
+architecture name, as returned by the ``isalist`` utility. For example, 32-bit
+binaries might be in ``/opt/csw/bin`` and 64-bit Intel binaries would be in
+``/opt/csw/bin/amd64``.
