Just installed a turnkey linux ubuntu/apache/tomcat vm image. After some trouble getting the bridged network adapter installed on win7, I wanted to check network access to and from the vm. Verified that I could hit the vm's web server from the host, and wanted to test that I could also hit the internet from the vm, so I did this on the shell cmd line:
curl www.google.com
Which responded with this:
-sh: curl: not found
Wanting to make sure it wasn't busted networking, I tried this, and got the same response:
curl localhost
That leads me to think that wasn't curl saying it can't find the requested url, but the shell saying it can't find the curl cmd. So I did this:
sudo apt-get install curl
Response was:
-sh: sudo: not found
So now I'm confused. Sudo has to be installed, doesn't it, and apt-get? Both because they're fundamental I think, and because you couldn't install anything else without them, if you see what I mean.
Is it a security issue, that my account (which I just created via webmin) doesn't have rights to sudo? I added myself to the secondary group 'sudo' via webmin, though I wasn't sure that was legit, logged out and back in, no change, so I undid it.
I read that /etc/sudoers controls access to sudo, but as far as I can tell from both the cmd line and the webmin text editor open file dlg, it doesn't exist. Do I need to create it? Is it normal to have to do that, or a system defect?
Or is it something else that my ignorant self is or isn't doing?

from this forum post http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20110125/sudo-command-not-found-turnkeylinux-drupal6 it looks like, sudo isn't installed by default on turnkeylinux. It features some help on how to install it as well.
If there are more problems with turnkey you should probably continue to ask there, since it seems to be a heavily specialized ubuntu fork.
