Re: sudo Command wont install, please help
gowireless - it's fairly clear that you have not read any documentation - or if you have, you have chosen to ignore it. The Beginners' Guide was written with people like you in mind, but even with that to assist you, some common sense and a willingness to help yourself are required. Please read and follow the document thoroughly. If you find that you still need answers to questions as simple as those above, search the wiki, this forum, and the rest of the web first. If you are still stuck, ask here.
