+# Before Starting: 
+
+If you've already written or download modules when you start using r10k it will remove all of the existing modules and replace them with what you define in your Puppetfile.  Please copy or move your existing modules to another directory to ensure you do not lose any work you've already started.  
+
+## How to Use This Repo
+
 1.  Clone this repo down to your master (in /tmp is fine) and upload it to your own internal git server
 2.  Edit configure_r10k.pp so that the server parameter is set to your interal git server and repo name  
 3.  On your Master, run `puppet module install zack/r10k`
