Yeah, Fedora (and I guess other distros) doesn't ship with sudo
activated by default :(

But you should be able to do the same by using su instead of sudo:

su -c 'cp somefile /etc/.'

Or "su -" to get into a root shell.

I have heard that latest experimental SoaS images have sudo installed
by default, so in the next release sudo will work fine in SoaS as
well.
