The Linux Users Guide is quite old and, in this respect, somewhat out of
date. The rc files it names are used in "BSD-style" initialization; I think
Slackware is the only distribution of consequence that still uses BSD-style.
RH and others use "SysV-style" initialization, with a large number of
separate rc files, roughly one per process. For this part, you'll need
RH-specific documentation; not being a RH user myself, I can't help you
beyond that general advice.
You probably don't need /etc/networks .
