Hello everyone,
this discussion again puts the question out:

Why is no clear install option available to choose not the 
Network-Manager stuff, but a rather lean and clean network installation
setup? Especially those who use Scientifc Linux setups for a cluster or 
server-environment are forced to do a couple of additional steps to get 
this?
Is SL only now about the desktop & mobile computing, where 
NetworkManager seems appropriate?
I would really like to see this option in the setup.
Best Regards
Harry
