I have always had ifconfig with fedora... by default /sbin and /usr/sbin are not in anyones path, so you have to use absolute pathnames.
Instead of using apt-get, try using yum. I liked yum better. The thing I didn't like about either, was that the packages were not really up to date... i.e. gaim was at 0.68 (its now at 0.74), and a couple of other things. That could be fixed by adding repositories to either apt-get or yum. For gui frontends to apt-get, synaptic is quite nice. but you know, I run gentoo now :) --mat On Fri, 2004-01-02 at 17:27, David Jackson wrote: > Final Review of Fedora Core 1 > > There's not much left to say, so I will keep it brief. > > The Fedora Core 1 package manager is broke, on many, many levels.
