@LEARNER: Even using su is not recommended for beginners. You'll tend to forget that you're working from root environment. do as following instead.

Code:

$ echo 'yourusername  ALL=(ALL)   ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

replace yourusername with your username
and then use

$ sudo command

where command can be any valid gnu command.

eg:

$ sudo yum -y install kino

for kino, you need have freshrpms repo configured. If not done already

Code:

$ sudo rpm -ivh http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/6/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

then

Code:

$ sudo yum -y install kino
