Nope. The DVD installs NetworkManager by default as well. If anaconda
would merely ask: "Hey do you want the network on all the time,
or only when you flit about between hotspots?" and then install
the appropriate bit, none of this controversy would have
happened. Making NeworkManager a *replacement* for network, when
it does not replace any aspect of network was the big mistake.
