I think if we don't automagically grab an IP from DHCP without prompting
the user after the very first (language selection) screen, then the
network screen should pop up there, but should also be accessible later
for tweaking in the main hub (hub #1 / pre-install hub.)

What do you mean? System = desktop version of it?

Okay this is a good point. Are these something you get for "free" by
using the shared code?

Proxy is weird because you potentially have two different ones? (Is that
right?) A proxy to connect to the system that has the installation
content vs a proxy the system will use post-installation to have a full
internet connection? (Those could be two different networks, right?)

The mockups definitely don't handle proxy right but I'm not sure the
best way to do it. It does make sense to have it as an item in the
network UI though. I don't know whether or not we should pull it from
the 'installation source' screen as well?
