Re: [be] remote repository difficulties

[Tim Beckendorf]

Thank you Teus,

The ls command got me on the right track. It gave me the message that 
there was no such directory so I input ls /media . There was a directory 
repo there but it was empty. The directory needed was called repo_ and 
it contained the repository directory and data. I removed the empty repo 
directory, unmounted the flash drive and remounted it and everything 
works now. I have no idea how an empty repo directory was created in /media.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
