Description Mohammed Arafa 2010-06-24 11:54:35 UTC

Description of problem:
i did a minimal f13 installation and when completed the first thing i did was yum update and found there was no network available.
attempting to run system-config-network led to the discovery that not a single system-config-* app was installed.

to get my machine onto the network i had to write an ifcfg-eth0 file by hand.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
presuming everytime. will not wish to inflict pain on myself by trying again.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.install minimal OS
2.attempt to use the network
3.
  
Actual results:
eth0 down

Expected results:
eth0 up and at the very least uses dhcp to get on to the network

The minimal install only installs the Core group, which includes dhclient and the necessary tools for bringing up the network.  If you didn't need a network device to install with, you likely didn't get one configured for post-installation use by anaconda.  The minimal install, you see, is extremely minimal.
