there are other tasks you must do. These tasks are intermingled with other
configuration tasks in Chapter 3, "Changing the system configuration," Chapter 5,
"Configuring TCP/IP," and Chapter 7, "Creating your first Linux virtual machine
and installing Linux." To place the tasks in context, Table 3 summarizes how to
configure TCP/IP and a virtual switch.
