Question grub-install: command not found


Hi,

I am following the below link:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-mu...2-using-linux/

once i get to step to install grub2, using:

grub-install --force --no-floppy --root-directory=/media/MULTIBOOT /dev/sdx

in fedora 16 i get the following error:

"-bash: grub-install: command not found."

any help, really appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't run Fedora but I am pretty sure you need to be root in terminal to issue that command.
