+This directory contains bootstrap templates which can be used with the -d flag
+to 'knife bootstrap' to install Chef in different ways. To simplify installation,
+and reduce the matrix of common installation patterns to support, we have
+standardized on the [Omnibus](https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-ruby) built installation
+packages.
+
+The 'chef-full' template downloads a script which is used to determine the correct
+Omnibus package for this system from the [Omnitruck](https://github.com/opscode/opscode-omnitruck) API. All other templates in this directory are deprecated and will be removed
+in the future.
+
+You can still utilize custom bootstrap templates on your system if your installation
+needs are unique. Additional information can be found on the [docs site](http://docs.opscode.com/knife_bootstrap.html#custom-templates). \ No newline at end of file
