 The init package is used to initialize a cluster, making it ready for deployment of other Zarf packages. It must be executed once on each cluster that you want to deploy another package onto, even if multiple clusters share the same host.
 
-During the initialization process, Zarf will seed your cluster with a container registry to store images that other packages may require. Additionally, the init package has the option to deploy other features to your cluster, such as a Git server to manage your repositories or a PLG logging stack that allows you to monitor the applications running on your cluster. For additional information on the init package, we provide detailed documentation on the Zarf ['init' package page](/ref/init-package/).
+If there is no running cluster, the init package can be used to create one. It has a deployable K3s cluster component that can be optionally deployed on your machine. To install a K8s distribution other than k3s, finding or creating a custom Zarf package is necessary.
+
+Typically, an init package is the first Zarf Package to be deployed on a cluster as other packages often rely on the services it installs or configures, however Zarf may be used to package and install the cluster distribution itself.  In this scenario, the distribution package would be deployed first, followed by the init package, and then any other packages planned for deployment.
