I just installed Fedora 10, when finished installing it asked me to create one user as well as root password, I did and I am forced to login with that user, now I don’t have any type of root access, when I try to use sudo help command it says something like my current user’s account is not on sudoers list, when I try to edit /etc/sudoers to fix the issue it says I don’t have root access, I don’t know how to start root terminal session as this option is not available in Konsole like RedHat, I am stuck cant do anything, any one knows how to get from this loop?

My computer has two operating systems on it, Windows XP and Fedora Core 4. I recently installed a dialup modem, which works perfectly fine in Windows. I just can’t seem to get it to work in Fedora. When I try to set it up, Fedora probes for it automatically, like it’s supposed to, which works fine. When I go to establish the connection, however, it comes up with something like “Unable to initialize modem with error 2″. I’d like to eventually convert totally over to Linux, but that’s not going to happen until I get a working internet connection in Fedora Core. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong, and how to set it up right?

I’m using Fedora 8 and downloaded ymessenger with yum for dependencies. Having already obtained an account, I then try to log in but each time I get a message saying I’m logged out as I’m on a different machine. It makes no difference whether I try from root or from user. I’d be very grateful if someone could indicate a solution to this for me. Season Greetings!

Is there a rpm or easy way to install the driver for D-Link DWL-650 (M1) wireless adapter card on linux(fedora, kernel 2.6.9)?
Thanks.
