The Lubuntu 17.04 Desktop/Live CD(ISO) is missing the package: net-tools[1]
It's troubling to find a LiveCD today that does not have something as simple as netstat and other important tools available.
It's also quite pathetic to discover the recent Debian LiveCDs are missing UFW[2].
[1] "This package includes the important tools for controlling the network subsystem of the Linux kernel. This includes arp, ifconfig, netstat, rarp, nameif and route."
[2] "The Uncomplicated FireWall is a front-end for iptables, to make managing a Netfilter firewall easier. It provides a command line interface with syntax similar to OpenBSD's Packet Filter. It is particularly well-suited as a host-based firewall."
[Ed note: Assuming one has an internet connection, can't one just do something along the lines of apt-get $package_name to fill in what is missing? Is this just whining on the part of the submitter or an actual shortcoming? What are your thoughts on this?]

Ah, but you need to be at least an Innitiate, not a Novice, and be sworn into the secret "something" to append to "sudo apt install __"
Good luck finding documentation. Online searches most often provide "help" that is a decade out of date.

Google has a thing where you can limit searches by time.
http://www.google.com/search?tbs=qdr:y&q= [google.com]
y == year
m == month
d == day
h == hour
You can even turn that into &tbs=qdr:y,sbd:1
(sort by date) so that they will be ordered most-recent-first.

Hey! I just noticed that this is story #20,000.
