The network module was removed from firstboot, so this needs to be changed in the documentation.

Comment 3 Jack Reed 2011-12-09 00:17:01 UTC
Thanks Mark and Martin.

I've deleted 'network' from the list of configuration options in that paragraph. The change will be available in the 6.3 version of the guide.
