Hi,
    I've been playing with the Moblin 2.0 Beta for a couple of days. I
built the sample application (with some modifications) and wanted to run
it under Moblin, rather than my Ubuntu development machine.

    I copied the target binary onto a USB pen drive to test on my
netbook (Dell Inspiron Mini 10) running Moblin. This seemed a little
unwieldy, and I noticed that there were instructions for using scp to
copy to the target.

    The scp command (which I'm not familiar with) seemed to depend on an
IP address for the target hardware. However, when I tried to execute
"ifconfig -a" in order to get my IP address, it failed. It seems that
ifconfig is not a part of the Moblin image.

    Is this deliberate? If so, why? It seems like a serious omission. Or
maybe, I'm just doing something wrong, I'm no Linux expert........

the ifconfig command resides in the /sbin directory, since this commonly
is an administrative command, not for non-administrative users.

Also, by default we do not ship/enable the ssh server, needed for scp,
so you may need to yum install that.
