I am running Fedora 10. I went to download another browser, Galeon. It
stated that "Galeon is part of Fedora Extras, the community-driven part of
Fedora. To install, simply type: yum install galeon."
I went to terminal and typed: "yum install galeon." I was told that I did
not have privileges to do that. I know my root user password, but how do I
identify myself as the root user when using the terminal. Root user is not
one of the choices when I log on. What should I do?
To do something as root, from a terminal window, you can do that 2 ways:
su
<--- "su" will ask you for the root password
yum install galeon
exit <--- this will quit being root and go back to being you
or
sudo yum install root
<--- "sudo" will ask you for the root password
To log in as root from the login screen, try selecting the "other"
option... I believe it will let you type in the username (in this
case "root").
