yes, since the default install is a stadalone server install, we cant
assume that a dhcp server is around. 

the installer should provide a deault value for the IP address, but due
to a bug we found building the preview CD we needed to disable this
feature... its solved now and will be enabled in tonights build again.

the standalone workstation install behaves like a normal ubuntu install
wrt IP adresses/dhcp.
