A little bit of searching you would have found this yourself. Google is your friend.

Read this post: Adding a user to sudoers file

You are right sorry, I should have looked harder first. I had a lot of other problems getting video working and so on. The link you gave didn't really help a lot, but I found this after work today:

echo '(your)loginname ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

Where 'loginname' is your user account.
Use 'ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' if you don't want to be prompted a password.
If you are prompted for a password with 'sudo' it is the user password, not root.

Worked fine!! It was at http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...-fc6.html#sudo

Just for anyone who has the same problem!!

The solution you found is in the link that I posted. Thread #10. You have it fixed now so no problem.

You didn't come across as sounding ungrateful (not to me anyway) I was just pointing out the solution was right there.
