Yes, it requires a complete installation. This is because a) we have
to bring SSH up and b) network configuration is currently in one step,
so we cannot configure a basic config and later ask for more details,
such as DNS.
How common is it for DHCP servers not to send gateway and DNS
information?

I cannot remember the reason for this; maybe someone else can comment.
