How hard is this to check?

And what about this one additional:

 * Network interfaces must be configured properly and automatically 
  enabled on boot so that Internet/LAN connection works by default
  whenever possible. This requirement does not apply when custom
  networking properties are chosen during installation process.

I'm talking about the infamous "feature" of Fedora that forces user
to enable networking every time after boot if he installed the system
from DVD (most cases anyway). It is really bad experience, we should
make sure it doesn't happen next time.
