As part of the installation guide improvement project, I performed the following operations on the Launch chapter: 1) Split monolithic file with instructions for nova networking into separate files for nova and neutron networking. 2) Updated instructions in each section to account for differences between nova and neutron networking. 3) Updated other sections and glossary as necessary.

This guide shows you how to launch a minimal instance using the
|
|
<glossterm>CirrOS</glossterm> image that you added to your environment
|
|
in the <xref linkend="ch_glance"/> chapter. In these steps, you use the
|
|
command-line interface (CLI) on your controller node or any system with
|
|
the appropriate OpenStack client libraries. To use the dashboard, see the
