Hi, I now know why this problem occurred. When installing Ubuntu 7.10 (any version) from CD the installer assumes that an internet connection is available. In my case this was not so. To remedy the problem of 'security updates' during installation I connected the PC to a router via a network to get web access. On a new installation no security update message errors were displayed and two software sources were automatically enabled with no manual intervention. I still believe that these two software sources should be enabled where no web access is available during installation. These are Canonical supported Open Source software (main) and community maintained Open Source software (universe).
