You can gain root privileges using su - command in Terminal.
Code:su -
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

But is there a way to permanently give my user root privileges? Or how can I make an administrator account?
Because each time I type sudo, it says my liveuser is not a sudoer...

sudo is not configured for Liveuser by default. Use su - instead. root login is disabled in Fedora and you can't login as root in GUI.

Is there a way to configure sudo for liveusers just like in the desktop version of Fedora?

You can add liveuser to sudoers file but that won't make difference regarding root privileges. su does the same thing as sudo and it works fine in Fedora LiveCD.

How would I add liveuser to the list of sudoers?
And is there a way to change "liveuser" to another name?
Thanks
