Tom Heady has already done something to that extent at https://github.com/tomheady/ec2debian/wiki/64bit-ebs-ami-pvgrub I am not sure whether everything is up to date though, there are quite a lot of small (critical) details one has to be aware of when bootstrapping manually, which is why I would suggest a fully automated approach. > > I see this pages : > > http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/CreateEC2Image > > http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/WindowsAzureImage > > and they seems to me not so simple to understand; so could someone help me > to start on these and do some test? My bootstrapping tasks at https://github.com/andsens/ec2debian-build-ami/tree/master/tasks are written pretty much like a step-by-step guide on how to create an image, they have comments and all, I suggest you take a look at them. > > > > Thanks in advance for your help. > > > > Marco Mangiante > > > > > Fata viam invenient (Virgilio) > I fati troveranno la vi a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
