Is ifconfig available on a console during installation?
I can not check at the moment.
I attempted to check this morning using
debian-stretch-DI-rc3-i386-netinst.iso
I did an install using expert mode, not selecting any GUI.
At several points during the install I did Alt-F2 to bring up a terminal
to attempt running ifconfig.
"Command not found" was the uniform response.
I booted the new install and attempted as root to run ifconfig.
I again got "Command not found".
That seemed odd.
Having previously done an install using the same ISO and having selected
the MATE desktop, I repeated the above with the same error.
I have no problem running ifconfig under Squeeze (8.6.0).
Is it "bug" or "operator error"?
The full version reports TX and RX data.
The last line when using the -a option is just what I want.
Thank you.
