we have all these nice chef scripts to do deployments.
and then sometimes we do installation at a client that does not have a chef
server, and we end up writing a little bash script to do the install. that
sucks.
would there be a way to embed the chef cookbooks and perhaps chef-solo in a
tarball and base a standalone installer on that? would be a very nice way
to re-use chef scripts
Are these Chef scripts available to the public? I would love to get my hands on them so I’m not reinventing the wheel

I would check out GitHub - chef-boneyard/omnibus-chef-server: Deprecated: Omnibus packaging for Opscode Chef Server (OSC 11.x only).. The OSS Chef Server installer uses Chef Solo internally to configure itself and its embedded services (nginx, postgresql, etc.). Once you take a deeper dive into that repo you'll see it's actually pretty straightforward to set up your own omnibus installer and pattern it after the way chef server does it.

i realize http://www.opscode.com/chef/install/ is to quickly install a
chef-client, however i want to embed something in our own installer that
runs effectively runs chef-solo, without requiring chef software to be
permanently installed.

The omnbius installer will likely put you on the right path then, as
it's designed to be a framework for creating stand along installation
packages and isn't designed to be chef specific.
