Just remember Debian isn't Ubuntu. When you see "sudo blah blah blah" just run "blah blah blah" as root¹. Ubuntu specifically sets up sudo, they don't like you being root! whereas, in Debian, ***YOU*** would have to install sudo and configure it to get the desired result. ¹ "su -c blah blah blah" is probably better. -- "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
