Problem installing talking arch

visudo is a command you can execute as root.

If you want a particular user to have certain powers, uncomment the
appropriate directive, e.g. place your cursor on the # symbol at the
beginning of the appropriate line and press the letter x to delete the #
symbol. When finished, save and exit.

Next, add the appropriate user to the wheel group in /etc/group. Here's
what mine looks like:

wheel:x:10:root,janina


That allows user janina to execute all the powers assigned via visudo.
