Tom Fifield ffa01a2c23 Add another clarifying note on nova-net install
We had another bug report about the nova-network install section.

This patch adds another very explicit,
clarifying note to ensure people are installing
packages in the right place.

<title>Enable Networking</title>
<para>Configuring Networking can be a bewildering experience. The
following example shows the simplest production-ready configuration
that is available: the legacy networking in OpenStack Compute, with
a flat network, that takes care of DHCP.</para>
<para>This set up uses multi-host functionality. Networking is
configured to be highly available by distributing networking
functionality across multiple hosts. As a result, no single
network controller acts as a single point of failure. This
process configures each compute node for networking.</para>
<note>
<para>If you need the full software-defined networking stack, see
<xref linkend="ch_neutron"/>.</para>
