The SD card contains !Boot, Apps, Diversions, Printing, Utilities etc.
and so there is no rush to copy your favourite software or data from
the USB disc to the SD card - it will still be there on the USB disc
until you get around to copying it across to the SD card. It will even
continue to use the !Boot on the USB disc until you change your boot
file system to SDFS.
