Correct.

I've fixed the handbook section now to use 192.168.0.255 as the end of
the Class C network address range, in revision 1.338 of the file
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install/chapter.sgml,v

Thanks for your submission, and I apologize for not catching this
minor fix earlier.  The fixed version of the relevant section will
appear online after the next scheduled rebuild of our web site,
in a few hours :-)

Regards,
Giorgos
