not sure it this is true also in F-14, but in RHEL-6 with the minimal
installation you must start/enable the "network" service manually
because the NetworkManager service, normally taking care of the network
interfaces, is not installed there

python-iwlib is missing completely in F-14, it was originally excluded
from the s390(x) package set and it was kept by mistake on the list of
packages that are skipped during build, I will add it as a F-14 update

F-15 should be OK

hm, is this really specific to system-config-users or are also other GUI
applications affected?
