Bug Description
In ubuntu desktop i386 8.04 beta cannot activate the "ufw" firewall in live mode. I get an error message that "ERROR: / is world writable!".
I would expect that I can use the firewall also while in live mode. Actually, I am working with ubuntu on a USB memory stick, however, I get the same result when working of the CD-ROM.

Note that this is not a regression. Root has always been world writable on the CD (having personally checked back as far as 6.10).
