That's not true. Current real-existing situation: After the install is complete then please choose from Gnomes menu [Administration] --->> [Network] (or issue /usr/bin/network-admin). Then you get asked if you prefer manual configuration (everything involved gets done now, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/defaultrouter etc etc etc, not a an incomplete job anymore which potentially confuses new users). What more (beyond maybe a pppd-GUI, such as http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Networking/GnuPPP-36649.shtml or http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2491 or many more choices) do you want? All I suggested was, that - whatever get's or doesn't get added to the installation process - should be based on the shipping /usr/bin/network-admin aka network-admin(1). I do not agree with your logic that it would be less work to write a new solution, instead of somehow incorporating the existing one into the installation process, if so desired (either by simply calling it, or by embedding the content into caiman, via using a shared library).
