I made a live USB with a 1000MB overlay on a 4GB stick, and it worked fine. 
ifconfig and the other commands are in root's path but not fedora's (fedora is 
the ID created automatically and can be used without a password).  Were you root 
when you tried those commands?

As an aside, when I wrote the html README, one thing I tried to do was stay away 
from the command line as much as possible.  However, there are some things, such 
as the above commands, which have no graphical equivalents, at least that I know 
of (I'd love to be proven wrong).
