AFAIK, busybox (as configured in Fedora) has some of those commands,
eg: busybox ifconfig
It can call the right command when symlinked.
Thanks. That could be a viable option if net-tools is somehow
undesireable compared to busybox, but it depends on what we are trying
to accomplish.
- Package sizes are below 1MB in both cases.
- Busybox has no requires, but net-tools only requires glibc
- Maybe Busybox's tools are better maintained than old net-tools?
