Running a live version off USB of Stretch.
Just wondering if traceroute is available by default on a normal Stretch install, because it's not on the live version. (It was on the Jesse Live version). And if not, why?

You're running a Live 9.3 Stretch?Bulkley wrote:It's working on mine.
And it has traceroute included?

Not sure what you mean by a normal install? There are different implementations of traceroute, which would you expect to find available?shakman wrote:Running a live version off USB of Stretch.

There are ways to find out what pkgs are on the different iso images.

For live image the best answer is probably this:

It might not be on all of the stretch live-system isos because there were other pkgs that the team thought were more important? I guess one or other implementation could be included by one or more of the specific desktop environments, but I'm not sure how you could find out.

Just the standard /usr//bin/traceroute I guess. I was surprised it was not included in Stretch as I've always considered a "core" utiliity.bw123 wrote:

Interesting.
So looking through the *.list and *.packages for the different releases, they did indeed remove traceroute from the Live images starting with Stretch. I wonder what the reasoning was, if there is a newer utility which already includes the functionality, like ss and ip do for netstat.
One other question arose when looking at those lists. For "install" images (i.e., not live), when I look at the "iso-dvd" dir, I see for Stretch/amd64, three (3) DVDs. Yet when I look at the corresponding "list" dir, there are 14 (!) DVD lists.
Where are the other 11 DVD images to be found?
