On the other hand, if it's a lot of commands, five extra characters
for each are probably not a make-or-break issue. ;-)

However, I'm also comfortable with saying at the top, "Run these
commands as root. To become root temporarily, use 'sudo su -' and when
finished, use 'exit' to return to your regular shell." (Or something
to that effect.) We should discourage people from logging in as root,
though -- I still see plenty of people doing it IRL and it makes me
cringe!
