And all the customization tools... Currently I am trying to use Ubuntu Mini Remix 11.04 (i386) to create bootable USB key that will automatically run couple different scripts. I have been using so far SLAX and as it is using 'root' as default user it was easy with stuff like mounting and unmounting and creating directories. Switching to ubuntu now it is using 'ubuntu' account and all the scripts need to be corrected (added sudo in front of commands like mount). Is it possible to modify Ubuntu Mini Remix 11.04 so it will be using 'root' account instead? I tried to run 'sudo su', 'su -s', 'su -i', 'su -u' from inside the script, but they switch to a different shell(?) and my program stops. Ho can I overcome this? If not I will need to modify all scripts (it is a lot of work!) and to add 'sudo' in front of each command that requires elevated permissions. I googled for days with no avail. Could you please point me to a source or give me an advice, please? Really appreciate your advise and help. Best regards, Hello Fabrizio,

A couple of questions.

Is there a way to install some packages after rebooting the system?

If updates are in the pool/extras folder, will they get installed? Or can they go into the pool/main folder, replacing the original package?

Ok, a triple of questions …

How to remove packages? Can unused packages be simply deleted from pool/main?
