xfce cd 1 seem to install network manager without activating a network mirror during installation. I should try CD 1 + CD 2 to see if it installs network manager by default. Also DVD 1 is another option, but many old systems (like the systems at the school we teach free software in Pandav Nagar, Pune) does not have a DVD drive and only option is a CD.
