Yes, maybe we can skip only the connectivity check but still try to
connect to some network. I will have a look later this week.

Almost unrelated topic, it would be nice to provide an interface where
users can grab a nightly/periodic build of the installer and test the
latest fixes. We are already have "usb-image" and "iso9660-image" jobs
in Cuirass. So it could be a link allowing to download the latest
successful build or so.

Thanks,

Mathieu
