Yeah, the problem is that /Users is a unix concept, but he's using a
Carbon VM. Determining which volume is also the root partition isn't
possible (I don't think...) because Carbon doesn't have a notion of
"root partition."
Brian, you might try the above snippet using a Unix VM. I haven't been
successful in building one myself, so I can't confirm that it works.
The following works on my system, but might not on yours...
(FileDirectory on: 'Macintosh HD:Users') directoryNames
