How to use these files

1. Download the latest "network-console" source package (1.29 at time of writing) and patch it with: network-console-1.29+euca01.patch
2. Build the modified "network-console" udeb
3. Download the latest "debian-installer" source package (last tested with version 20101020) and patch it: d-i-20101020-euca01.patch
4. Build the "debian-installer" images, then drop them into a Debian-mirror style layout under a filesystem directory:

   $DIR/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current

5. Make sure you have the Amazon EC2 tools installed and configured correctly with your user credentials
6. Figure out which install-time PV-GRUB image to use:

   US-East 32-bit Installer (hd0)

   aki-407d9529

   US-East 64-bit Installer (hd0)

   aki-427d952b

7. Run the "ec2-build-di" script:

   ./ec2-build-di -A amd64 -D testing -G aki-427d952b \
   		-b debian-installer -M file://$DIR --acl public-read

8. Write down the output of the last command, as that tells you what your new $DI_IMAGE AMI is.
9. Figure out which run-time PV-GRUB image to use:

   US-East 32-bit Operational (hd0,0)

   aki-4c7d9525

   US-East 64-bit Operational (hd0,0)

   aki-4e7d9527

10. Stand up a new Debian amd64 image on a 10GB volume:

    ./ec2-debian-installer -A $DI_IMAGE -G aki-4e7d9527 \
    		-k name-of-ec2-ssh-key -g my-security-group -t m1.xlarge \
    		-n my-debian-image -S 10 -f ssh-key-login.preseed

11. More steps TODO: Installing GRUB1 from installer
12. Now start a fresh instance from the installed AMI!!!
