[rhelv6-beta-list] No tui network setup on server install

[Kirby Zhou]

I support you, at least a CLI config tool like authconfig should be
provided.

Hello,
I guess I'll be the first to bring this up.

Doing a basic server install does not install Network Manager - that is 
good.

It also does not install system-config-network - that is bad.

Looking at what rpm's are available, system-config-network isn't even 
offered, it's gone - that is very very bad.

So, I look through the RHEL6 documentation, maybe they've replaced it 
with something.  Yes, they replaced it with NetworkManger.
Although in the documentation for editing the configuration files it says
"The /etc/sysconfig/networking/ directory is used by the Network 
Administration Tool (system-config-network) and its contents should not 
  be edited manually."

So I think to myself, let's look in Fedora 13 to see what they changed 
it to.  But behold, system-config-network is *in* Fedora 13.

I'm flabbergasted.  I'm totally stunned.
Is RHEL not supposed to be for servers first and desktops second?
Why would you purposefully make a sys-admins life harder by removing 
their network configuration tool.

Troy
