* '''Error Message''': ''General System Error''
 * '''Reproduction''': This seems to be caused through a certain
combination of media and disc drives. During installation you may
encounter a    ''General System Error'' while copying libwebcore.so.
 * '''Resolution''':  To remedy this, WebPositive's libraries will be
manually copied to the partition you are installing to and then the
files will be "deleted" on the CD. To note, file modification on the
LiveCD will not persist across reboots.
   * Click [ Desktop (Live-CD) ]
   * Click Deskbar --> select Applications --> click DriveSetup
   * Prepare and mount the partition you wish to install to.
   * Close DriveSetup
   * On the Desktop, right click the destination partition and in that
popup menu,
     * select Add-ons --> Open Terminal
     * run the following commands & ignore the comments (lines
starting with ''#'').
{{{
    # Set up a variable to reduce typing.
    export dir=apps/WebPositive/lib

    # Create the dir on the partition being installed to.
        mkdir -p $dir

        # Copy the files from the LiveCD to the partition.
        cp /boot/$dir/* $dir/

        # Temporarily delete the files on the LiveCD.
        rm -rf /boot/$dir/*.so

        # Launch Installer
        Installer

}}}
   * Installer will prompt you "The target volume is not empty ....",
click [ Install anyway ].
