If you install f14 beta and choose the minimal install option you get a system with a broken network configuration. NetworkManager is not (and rightly so) installed, yet ifcfg-eth0 include "NM-ConTROLLED=yes" "network" is also not enabled by default. upon login of course no network is available. ifup eth0 does nothing as NM is not installed the only way to get network is to use dhclient eth0 once that is done you can install system-config-network-tui and configure the network as you like although it will still leave "NM-CONTROLLED=yes" in the configuration file (and NM is still not installed). On minimal install, anaconda should properly configure ifcfg-eth0 and enable the "network" service.
This bug concerns installs where network: - is not enabled during install - is not configured in GUI with Connection Editor (invoked with "Configure Network" button) - is not configured in kickstart with network command Configuration is missing in ifcfg file in this case, so perhaps BOOTPROTO="dhcp" could be added as default configuration. (NM_CONTROLLED="yes" is harmless)
Radek, your characterization is wrong. During install network *was* configured, and updated packages were installed from the network. Should I revert the change of title you made ?
Ah, sorry then. How did you configure the network? I guess it was in GUI using Connection Editor. I'd need to see some log files: Either these gathered before reboot (switching to tty2 with Ctrl-Alt-F2, and using scp or copy to local storage): /tmp/anaconda.log /tmp/syslog /tmp/ifcfg.log or from installed system: /var/log/anaconda.log /var/log/anaconda.syslog /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* Aren't you hitting this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636526#c5 ? Thanks

It is possible, but I forgot. I will try to get you the requested info, but it may take a while, I will need to set up a new VM.

I tried recently with F14Beta and BOOTPROTO is present.
