NetBSD on Amazon EC2

[Francisco Valladolid H.]

Hi Folks

I begin using NetBSD 6.1.3 on Amazon ec2, previously using NetBSD 6.1
amd64, whenever the 6.1.3 AMI available don´t contain support for X11.

There are a AMI with X11 support ?

While installing git with pkgin, it fail to install correctly

Thanks for reading.

Best Regards.

Hi Francisco-

Assuming these are the semi-official images I maintain (the ones listed
on the wiki), if you read the MOTD when logging in, you can easily
install the X11 bits with the '/usr/bootstrap.sh' script.

From the motd:

The file system is lightly populated so you have plenty of space to play
with.
Should you need a src or pkgsrc tree, please use the "bootstrap" script
found
under /usr to download them. You can also use the script to set up
binary packages using "pkgin":

/usr/bootstrap.sh [src|pkgsrc|binpkg|xbase|xsets]

Hi Jeff

Always using bootstrap for setting pkgin, my eyes always watch the pkg only ;-)

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
