Not used Fedora in quite a while and I cannot remember how do get root for just one session, I need to install ndiswrapper which is on another drive and I'm locked out of them because I'm not root.

    You can type "su" followed by password of root in shell terminal... I think this is what you want.

    Log out (or open a new X), type "root" as username and the root password?
