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 Additional info:
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.
