+<screen>net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1</screen>
+<screen>net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1</screen>
+</para>
+<para>In addition, adding <command>ipv6.disable=1</command> to the kernel command line will disable the kernel module <application>net-pf-10</application> which implements IPv6.</para>
