-   you'd like to be shared between anyone setting up local Tempest working dirs
-   it's recommended that you copy or rename tempest.conf.sample to tempest.conf
-   and make those changes to that file in /etc/tempest
+#. Installing Tempest may create a /etc/tempest dir, however if one isn't

+   place of /etc/tempest. If none of these dirs are created tempest will create
+   ~/.tempest/etc when it's needed. The contents of this dir will always
