From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (Win98; U) Description of problem: Anaconda did not install the PUMP package on my system, but did install the netconfig package. This netconfig package has absolutely zero documentation, and, as a result, one cannot even begin to work with it. In fact, the netconfig package only includes one file - the binary. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man netconfig 2. sigh 3. Actual Results: No manual entry for netconfig Expected Results: Some kind of excuse for documentation regarding a core system utility that is completely new to the system Additional info: none. Not much to go on, here.
netconfig is really obsolete and exists only for certain other components that still depend on it. You can still use it, but redhat-config-network is the preferred interface and is more robust.
