Hmmm ...that's certainly more than possible. Last time I looked at sudo, I was going to have to learn a whole editor, just to be able to set it up and configure it. Meanwhile, Ubuntu has made the process a *lot* more transparent; maybe Fedora has, too, and I missed it ... Anyway, now that it's installed and I'm actually using the hard drive (while it lasts), I can simply open a gnome-terminal tab, do "su - ," and go from there. But I admit that's more good luck than good management; I still don't know why the install finally succeeded ... -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
