Asta Lyberth is still having a problem:
Why I installed GRUB 2?

I was looking for something that might be able to update a too slow usb
mass storage device and typed 'update' in synaptic with this 'unknown'
thing connected to the comp. There this Grub 2 emerged and was compared
with the original Grub which come to sound somewhat primitive against
it. This, on the other hand, would update itself (leaving me the
uncomfortable thought that I had to update the original) which together
with a very short 'what to do if' made me decide to replace the original
with this easy, selfupdatingGrub 2 so superior to the original...

- When I type 'sudo -s' in the terminal on this Live CD, this happens:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo -s
root@ubuntu:~# root
The program 'root' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install root-system-bin
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
bash: root: command not found
root@ubuntu:~# 

- Where do I enable this component 'universe'?

Thank you for your patience!

Asta
