 Welcome to the interactive guide to cdist!
 This is the interactive tutorial and beginners help for cdist.
 
+If you would like to run this tutorial completly without root priveliges,
+setup the variables __cdist_conf_dir to point to a writable locaction
+(i.e. $HOME/cdist-config).

 To make any use of cdist, we need to create the configuration base, which

+can normally be found below ${__cdist_conf_dir}. As cdist does not need
+any root priveliges normally, it is recommended that you create this
+directory as root and change the owner to a dedicated user (for instance
+cdist).
