I solved my own problem:  When I downloaded Ubunto 8.04, apparently I set up a 
USER password account which does not necessarily work as a root password.  In 
"The Official Ubunto Book", page 237 (How To Get My Root Account Back) type:
$ sudo passwd root

Then enter user account's password followed by a new root password,
repeat to verify.    I thought I automaticlly had root privilages being
the primary user.  Problem solved + a lesson learned.
