I don't use Fedora, so I don't know exactly how sudo gets
configured in a newly installed machine, but don't you mean this?

  sudo yum install galeon
      ("sudo" will ask for YOUR password, and having confirmed
        your identity, it will run the command as root.)

Oh, you're right. The root/galeon thing was a typo, and I'd
forgotten that "sudo" wanted the user's password not the root
password, as I usually just use "su".
