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.
