Did you provide a root password when initially installing? If so, I
believe this preempts the 'sudo' package from being installed (or, at
least it did that at one time, might not anymore); same as on Debian.

You'll need to run 'su -l' to login as root, then:

- if not already installed - install the 'sudo' package.
- run the 'visudo' binary
