No, we don't believe that imposing that burden on every single person on 
every install is a net benefit.  Indeed, the project's experience is that 
very few people need to explicitly configure an MTU.

So, for those that need it, well, to quote all of the INSTALL.<platform> 
files:

---
If any question has a default answer, it will be displayed in brackets 
("[]") after the question.  If you wish to stop the installation, you may 
hit Control-C at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the 
installation process again from scratch.  Using Control-Z to suspend the 
process may be a better option, or at any prompt enter "!" to get a shell, 
from which "exit" will return you back to that prompt.

So, you can use '!' to get a shell where you enter the necessary ifconfig 
command, and you can of course tweak the install before rebooting.
