NoOp--

I did as you suggested, but no dice -- I got the same message about sudo
needing to be set up.  As to your questions, I cannot remember; please
remember that this is all very new to me.  I do recall entering some
commands from a website, but I do not recall the name of the website (much
less the actual commands that I entered).  I am thinking that I should do a
clean install on the hard drive.
