  <para>This section only applies if a network card is to be configured. If
  you do not need to configure a network interface you can skip on to
  <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>

  <para> There are two different ways you can proceed from this point
  to configure your network. Dynamic will allow you to take advantage of
  a DHCP server to get all your configuration information. Static you become
  responsible for setting up your options.</para>

  <para>To configure a Static Interface, Follow <xref linkend="ch-network-static"/>.</para>

  <para>To configure a DHCP Interface, Follow <xref linkend="ch-network-dhcpcd"/>.</para>
