I tried starting NetworkManager under my user account on F8t3 but I got an error message "You must be root to run NetworkManager!" :( Please make it on by default also for DVD install images. One other small issue; I can't find NetworkManager anywhere in Gnome menue. Where is it located? There is no shortcut that I can see in Applications or in System menues. It that on purpose? Why?
