[Fiware-testbed-help] Help with Chef recipes

[Arto Heikkinen]

Hi,

I managed to get the cookbook (poi_dp) to the svn.

Now I am trying to test the client-server configuration. The 
instructions say:
"2. You can deploy a VM with a chef-client installed (this chef-client 
is connected to the chef server). There is an image which is called 
chef-client-test which you can use "

I cannot find an image with this name in the testbed. What is the 
correct image to use?

Br,
Arto Heikkinen
