Yes, I had left it out of the initial builds. It is now included if you 
select dhcp client support. The lowmem install class now defaults to a 
minimum of packages, and allows you to select additional sub packages.
The sub packages are de-selected by default, and you can choose to add:

Network support (basic network tools)
Dialup support
DHCP support
Messaging and web tools
OpenSSH server
Mail server

(dialup, dhcp, and messaging all pull in the network support group)

Yes, but troubling that your machine failed to boot with the mem=24M 
parameter. I can't see where it could be related to the installer 
changes, however. The fact that it boots without the kernel parameter 
would seem to indicate that the module exists and can be loaded.
If you have the time and inclination, could you do a base install (custom 
class, selecting no packages) of the official release and try the mem=24M 
option? I'm curious, but have no means at my disposal to test this 
further.

Oh, I agree. I'd like the end product to be as full featured as possible. 
I haven't disabled scsi support (at least not intentionally) ;)
