/bin/sh: can't find yaird

Thanks, but it doesn't look as though that is it. I found other ubuntu 
questions being answered with reference to mkinitrd, so I'm guessing it 
should be somewhere.

Among several thousand other things, I don't understand quite what is 
going on when I "boot from the CD". Obviously the CD bootstrap installs 
a Linux kernel, and gets (not quite) everything working. But presumably 
I am the root user in the shell it gives me? Yet it seems that the users 
referred to in the file system "ought" to be somehow different from any 
users associated with the version of the OS installed from the CD... (or 
something - perhaps this question doesn't make sense, in which case it's 
better ignored)
