As I wrote to you off-list, I think it's a bad idea, because we need to
push users to read that chapter first. Pushing it to the Appendix will
be counter-productive.

More over, I will soon add new stuff in this chapter, explaining how to
do a setup using the preseeder script "openstack-deploy", which is able
to deploy a full all-in-one openstack node, or a controler + compute
nodes. It wouldn't make sense to push this to the appendix, and it would
be much better to have it at the beginning of the doc, so that newbies
can try that first, before deploying each component by hand.

Your thoughts are welcome,
