Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-29-1.2-sda.raw.xz install

[Jeffrey Walton]

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

I suspect that your network is not working, since the right dnf repos are
in place by default.

Greetings,

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.
