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).
