Umm, not necessarily. RHEL and respins add a route for
169.254.0.0/16 to the primary interface. If you wish to
prevent this behavior add "NOZEROCONF=yes" to the definition
file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

I've not done non-kickstart installs for years and I
specifically exclude NetworkMangler as I'm pretty sure
it's installed by default in a gui install
(network-manager-gnome gets installed in a Gnome environment
which calls it in as a dep).
