<snip>If you install f14 beta and choose the minimal install option you
get a system
with a broken network configuration.

NetworkManager is not (and rightly so) installed, yet ifcfg-eth0 include
"NM-ConTROLLED=yes"
"network" is also not enabled by default.</snip>

<snip> Fresh install from Fedora-10-Snap2-i386-DVD.iso in text mode,
minimal install
options (all packages unticked). System comes up after installation with
network connectivity crippled. File /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 contains
"ONBOOT=no", "NM_CONTROLLED=yes" even though NetworkManager is not
installed.</snip>

Take it from there.  Seems to indicate whether NetworkManager is deemed
to control this interface.
