The Desktop CD sets the machine up as a DHCP client.  If no DHCP
services are available, the machine is not able to connect to the
network until it's been configured in the Networking control panel
post installation.

The main, restricted, dapper-updates, and dapper-security are enabled
by default.

If the network isn't working, then no updates will be availalbe,
however, if the machine can get to the Internet immediately after
installation, it will present you with updates after a few minutes.
