Errors & Mistakes:
- Hal troubles. Hal is not designed to work with root account. If you are using G:Mini logged as root, stop the Thunar Volman or HAL to avoid errors.
- Install does not start. The installer script is /usr/bin/gtki.sh. It first try mounts your partitions, this can be slow and even not work propertly. You can start the installer using a terminal, just type: sudo /usr/bin/gtkHDInstall. Or try use the installer as root. You need to have already formatted and partitioned your harddisk.
