Nicholas Chase 965a71e313 Move "Launch an Instance" to end of Install Guide
Moved the "Launch an Instance" section to the bottom of the
install guide, to prevent readers from having to jump around
from later chapters.  Also added a note at the end of every
chapter, starting with the Networking chapter, letting them
know that they can launch an instance or add additional
features.

<para>Configuring networking in OpenStack can be a bewildering
experience. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for both
OpenStack Networking (neutron) and the legacy (nova) networking
service. If you are unsure which to use, we recommend trying
OpenStack Networking because it offers a considerable number of
features and flexibility including <glossterm baseform="plug-in"
>plug-ins</glossterm> for a variety of emerging products
supporting <glossterm>virtual networking</glossterm>. See the
