	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 ...
