I don't know how to get root authority to cd to the directories you
want. I have tried the sudo command without success.

I am the installer so I would think I would have authority with my
password, but it's not working.

Thanks, Michael,

Larry

  Right after 8.10 became available, I attempted to upgrade from 8.04, It
  crashed my PC, I finally managed to reinstall 8.04. Today I accepted the
  Ubuntu online offer to upgrade to 8.10 that appeared automatically.on
  8.04.
  
  
  thinking that surely Ubuntu had caught all the glitches by now, I accepted 
the upgrade. After Ubuntu 8.04 processed the entire upgrade and the reboot was 
the only thing remaining to complete the process, it failed and I received the 
following error messages:
  
  Gave up waiting for root device.
       Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
            Check root delay=   (Did system wait long enough?)
            Check root=   (Did system wait for the right device?)
