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.
