[SOLVED] ifconfig not included?

[maliqua]

why? its tiny, its what everyone is accustom too.

anyway thats my biggest complaint i lost interest as soon as i realized i have to ip addr to get connectivity and went back to vmware

thanks


no arp either?!

is the couple KB you saved int he iso worth the frustration it causes?

ifconfig is not needed and out of date. just use ip, e.g. for getting your ip address:

> ip a

i didnt post because i couldn't figure out a solution i posted because its a needless exclusion that causes frustration for no good reason, ifconfig and arp are still included in basically every linux distro and widely used and they're all of a couple kilobytes, it was a small frustration but when im looking at dozens of thousands of dollars in licencing i like there to be minimal annoyances on the way

'out of date' is just way of saying 'we like this now so you will learn to like it' its still fully functional robust utility

what you don’t seem to know, the ifconfig command is no longer installed in modern Linuxes, it is depreciated, ip is replacing it.

yes its deprecated but many many tutorials still mention it
