I cannot run ifconfig even with su. Is this available as only an added package or something?

if you su this will get you into root but with the previous profile. (meaning the regular users profile) if you use su - this will pull in root profile and you will get the correct path set up and will be able to type ifconfig..

i have had a lot of people get tricked up with the su and su - and they could not figure out why.
