Hi Everyone,
Good job on the Fedora ARM images. The Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-29-1.2-sda.raw.xz ISO installed flawlessly on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. The web page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi was especially helpful because it provided all the information I needed.
I noticed the machine did not prompt me for a hostname on first boot. Changing the hostname would be helpful during configuration after first boot.
I wanted to install or configure OpenSSH for remote access. I looked for the ip address using ifconfig but the utility is missing. It would probably be helpful if OpenSSH had a mini-wizard and/or ifconfig was present.
I also noticed dnf does not work after an install. After logging in locally as root and running 'dnf update':
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora'
That means I can't install Emacs to make configuration changes, or developer tools like GCC, Git, GDB, Make, Autoconf, Automake, etc. I also have not been able to install openssh-server.
I think it would be helpful if the image included:
1) Emacs to make configuration changes 2) ifconfig to view network configuration 3) OpenSSH server enabled with a default password 4) Well configured DNF to install and update software

ifconfig is something deprecated nowadays, you should go with ip command
$ ip addr
3) OpenSSH server enabled with a default password
If I'm not wrong, ssh is enabled by default. Once you know your IP address, you can login with the regular user (not root) created during initial setup
4) Well configured DNF to install and update software
I suspect that your network is not working, since the right dnf repos are in place by default.
Greetings, A.

Is /sbin/ip there? That's a newer tool which interfaces better with the modern networking stack in Linux. (I know this is one of these frustrating "hey they moved my cheese" things for us old school sysadmins, but there it is.)

This should just work out of the box, once the network is configured of course.
