It is strange, I don't recall this from the first time I installed (back
in '05?). I would opt to label it just my fault, but I went through the
process this time around multiple times (the basic install is a very easy
one), and I am sure I was not prompted to save the network installation
...
... indeed when I first tried it this time around I elected to install
everything from the CD I'd burned, and wasn't prompted to set up
networking at all.
