I've a 64 GB USB stick formatted as FAT32 as it will be
occasionally used on a Windows machine.
Right now I'm trying to use it on two Debian 6.0.5 machines
created from the same DVD. One is physically a desktop
machine whose install was done in "expert" mode -- do not
recall what options I chose. The second is physically a
laptop whose install was done in "non-expert" mode accepting
all defaults.
The result is:
For the DESKTOP

I'm experimenting with creating a local custom repository
with the contents of several DVDs. I wish to refer to it in
the same manner on all debian machines. I don't have a
particular preference as how I refer to it. I _SHOULD_ be
machine independent!
Could someone explain what's happening here?
TIA
