[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Knife Bootstrap for installing anf configuring chef client

[GOUTAM CHIRANIA < >]

yes Jeremiah, i am trying this on chef server ,  i am using Linux
version 5 and installed rbel5 as rbel6 RPM were not working for me to
install Chef server.

Do i have to use another node for and use this

rpm -Uvh http://rbel.frameos.org/rbel6 yum install -y ruby rubygem-chef ntp

to install chef client ?

i am using bootstrap because it will configure the communication b/w
chef server and client as well , as i don't have much idea how to
configure it.

so, the question here would be do i have to use bootstrap on other
node , in which i have to  install chef client first but again how it
will communicate with Chef server ?

Thanks you for your reply !!
