I'm going to note that we never set up the networking for them in the  
past. I see no reason to change it. It's quite trivial to add that.  
While there's not a "problem" with doing it, you may be expecting a  
minimal system not one that's already on dhcp. Rather than having to  
turn something off, I think it's better to require them to turn it on.
