Well I don't think you want to turn off NM at the start of 
the installation. It's used to configure eth0 or whatever so 
you can do things like linux ks=http://server/ks.cfg

But on F10 you can stop NM from being installed with:

%packages
...
...
...

# Don't install NetworkManager
-NetworkManager

%end

Doesn't seem to break anything either :)
