Yes, that seems to be the core of the issue. The people actually putting together these distros are sitting in well-wired offices and never bother to use dialup themselves, so it never occurs to them to test these parts of the system. Everything is in disarray. File permissions need changed, config files need to be edited. It's raw development work that should be done before the ISO image for the distro is even created.
