his point is there is no reason to get sudo working if you do not want
to, since you can just use su to run as root. the -l option just gives
you a login shell for root (with roots shell configuration, not yours).
As far as "moving up to root", he just means moving from your user
account to the super user account, that is to a higher privilege level.

like i said, I don't think YDL 4.0.1 supports any sound on the G5
machines although FC4 does and YDL 4.1 is supposed to.
