some questions

[snacktime <snacktime@gmail.com>]

- I noticed the client looks for cookbooks in /var/chef, which is what I have the cookbooks path set to on the server.  Is it getting this value from the server, or is that a default value?

- It seems that the client must have all the cookbooks locally, it can't add new cookbooks from the server that it doesn't have.  Is that right?  Seems like that would be a desirable feature, although I can see how calculating all the dependencies could be a pain.  Or maybe an alternative could be the client can set a list of cookbooks in the attributes somewhere, and then download whatever cookbooks are not present at each run?  So then say you want to push out a new recipe to a bunch of clients you just update their attributes on the server and you are done.
