23.3.2. Kickstart Commands and Options

Describe the issue: 

--bootproto network command option says:

"The static method requires that you specify the IP address, netmask, gateway, and nameserver in the Kickstart file."

while only address and netmask are actually required.

Suggestions for improvement: 

"The static method requires that you specify at least the IP address and netmask in the Kickstart file."
