I downloaded the Fedora 7 LiveCD and did an install of that distro. However while the install process had me make a normal user it did not have me make a "root" user and password (which I thought was very strange). I figured there was a new way to do things which would be found in the docs. No luck. I didn't find anything on the FC7 pages (http://fedoraproject.org/).

Doesn't the 'normal' user have sudo privileges? I'm going based on my knowledge of the default Ubuntu install, but over there you can "sudo passwd root," enter in the 'normal' password to authenticate for sudo, then set the root password.
