Some cmds missing in fedora 10

[vickey_20]

I installed Fedora 10 from a live cd. I think it didnt detect my ethernet card so i m in big trouble. I have decided to manually install the modules form the driver cd. But cmd for compiling like gcc are not present in the live cd . So how do I go about getting the packages with these command( with no net connection in Fedora)

We should start by finding out what your ethernet card is. Post the output of lspci please.

thanks for replying . Actually I am on windows right now, the ethernet card is detected n thats no problem as I can see the o/p in lspci but it is not getting the IP automatically from the DHCP that is where the problem is . Something like AVC denial comes when i try to use it ( and what is selinux security, has it got any thing to do with this) . I also tried the same thing use root account , can u tell me how to disable selinux security , coz i think it is causing the problem and not letting dhcp assign IP.

I think SELinux is creating problems.

Change SELinux to "Permissive Mode".

su -
nano /etc/selinux/config

and change the line

SELINUX=restrictive

to

SELINUX=permissive

Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file.

thanks dude u solved my problem , but can u put a little light on how can I start net connection without having to restart my machine. I made the changes as u suggested but had to reboot my machine. Is there a way by which the conf file can be updated without restarting the system. Also how to i update???

You should probably reboot after making those changes to SELinux, but to start/restart the network without rebooting, simply type (as root)
/etc/init.d/network restart
