Research direction

Start with the quoted paragraph in src/config/network/index.md, linked at lines 3–5. Check the installation descriptions and dhcpcd service behavior, then revise the wording so it does not imply a single default installation and accurately reflects the stated conditions.

Description

bug good first issue

Network configuration in Void Linux can be done in several ways. The default installation comes with the dhcpcd(8) service enabled.

https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs/blob/c068cd821bc61658cb49426f9d8ba2c49d745cf4/src/config/network/index.md#L3-L5

"The default installation" is weird and confusing, there is no a real default installation and if there is (xbps-install -r /mnt base-system) then dhcpcd is not enabled, this should probably be fully removed or reworded to say that dhcpcd may be installed depending on the ISO and the installation method.
