ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide

System Image Components

The system image contains a configured version of the ChorusOS operating system, and possibly some user-defined applications (actors).

Depending on its configuration options, the ChorusOS operating system is built from a microkernel and a collection of actors. These actors, which contribute to the implementation of some ChorusOS operating system features and system image components are called ChorusOS operating system actors.

Configuration options concerning the system image components or OS actors deal mainly with the inclusion of system and application actors within system images.
