You're right. The stack was there.
First, I was inaccurate when I said I installed 6.2. I actually installed 6.0, and later updated via yum.
Second, yeah I was able to start the network service, so there was a stack. All I'd get would be the loopback or "lo" interface, but it was there.
But going into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts was a pain because there was no ifcfg-eth0 file I could play with. That's when I gave up and re-installed, but added more stuff beyond "base" just to be sure.
As for not configuring the network during the install process, I was pretty sure I had. For some reason it didn't take. Maybe I didn't click a save box when I should have. I don't know.

It has the network stack ... you must configure it during the install.
If you do not configure and enable the ethernet card then it does not
turn on by default ... but it is in the installer to be able to do:
