+====== Change Directory ======
 You must now change to the directory into which Synchronet will be installed.  This is the directory you created in [[install:nix:createdir|Step 1]].  If you are not installing into /sbbs and the /sbbs symlink does not exist, you will need to change the path to the correct install directory, ie: ''cd /home/myuser/sbbs''
+===== Common Errors =====
+Once the above is taken into account, it is fiendishly hard to cause an error with this step.  Because of this, everyone makes a different new and wonderful error, none of which are common.
+After getting this step wrong //and// looking for help on what could possibly be the problem, you should seriously reconsider if this is really the OS you should be using -- or at least if you should maybe learn how to use the OS before trying to install software on it.
