It let me do that but I could never tell if it got an IP address.
Type, as root, 'ip addr'. Also 'system-config-network' and/or
'NetworkManager' applet will provide that information.
I tried typing "ifconfig" but it just says "command
not
available". I tried "ifconfig" on the 3000 and got the same
message.
'ifconfig' is a part of net-tools-1.60-79.fc7, as for now,
package. Quite possible it was omitted from LiveCD to save
some space. It does not do anything more than 'ip' which
can also do many other things.
For a quick peek how 'ip' works look how it is used in
/sbin/ifup script and also try to type things like 'ip help',
'ip addr help' and similar.
