If you are running the commands from a live CD or USB then every time you boot you will need to run those commands. If you are running those commands from an operating system installed on the hard drive or USB then you will need to run those commands only once.

5. Do step number 3 again if it is still not working type in the following (Note this will upgrade the OS to the latest version)
