Is fedora Linux? =)
 

Hi all!

About 2-3 hours before, I have installed fedora core 2 and I had some experience with mdk... I have a very very simple question which is why some commands like "ifconfig" doesn't work on gnome terminal, but works on ctrl + alt + F1 (maybe the first console without visuals :))

I have also experienced some commands like parted, fdisk not working on gnome terminal... it says command not found!

What should I do to fix this interesting problem? Or is it a problem :)

Fedora is a distribution of linux - yes.

The commands do work but they aren't in a directory that is located in your PATH variable. Try using the full path - ie /sbin/ifconfig or if you are suing to root - use "su -"

Thanks for help =)

It seems like there are 2 PATH variables -- one for the Terminal in X Windows and one for the terminal outside. Does anyone know where both of them are set? I know how to set them temporarily (PATH=$PATH:<add additional directory here>), but how do I do it permanently?

You can set it in your "~/.bashrc" file.

simply, if you dont find any command, try using /sbin/command

and yes, fedora is linux too
