Hello Tom, thanks for the pre-announcement, looks good. I have just a question.. Since net-tools are going to be abandoned (I was wondering how i "misuninstalled" the package), what do i use as an alternative to ifconfig? I use wicd or manually bring LAN up, and it occurred to me network interfaces failed due to missing ifconfig command. What is the new one? Thanks
Please don't top-post. The new replacement for ifconfig is 'ip'; 'ip link show' is equivalent to the old 'ifconfig', without arguments. 'ip link set up eth0' is equivalent to 'ifconfig eth0 up'. ~Celti
