Building an Amazon EC2 custom image on debian or ubuntu is much like building a live system:
1) Build OS on current filesystem (Use debootstrap, etc) 2) Handling /dev etc 3) Install software packages 4) Customize init scripts 5) Package the files More info here: http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/detail/7927 Are you aware of any work to adapt Debian live scripts to build AMI images for Amazon EC2 ?
