That's all perfectly normal. What problem are you having?

In the previous installation, I could browse the file structure (including the root directory) from my personal user account by clicking on the "My Computer" Icon then the "Storage Media" Icon.  I could then access a particular file by using the "Open As Root" action.  That doesn't seem possible from this installation.  In fact, even when I log in as the Root user, I can not access the root directory from the "My Computer/Storage Media" Icons.  I can only access it from the "Home" Icon.  Is this normal in the newest version of PCLOS or do I have something set wrong?

Double click the 8.4G Media icon.

ALL RIGHT!  This new update does things a little different, and I never even thought to try that icon.  Thank you very much.

This hasn't changed since the My Computer item first appeared. Sorry Bob, they tell me the mind is the second thing to go.

Try as I might, I can't remember what went first.

I think we are in the same boat.
