Thanks Scott. It didn't occur to me to try switching my instance to small, do the install, and then switch back to micro. I'll give that a try. Also, for some reason I thought the amd64 builds of Ubuntu were lacking in some components. Maybe that's only true for client, but I definitely saw a recommendation somewhere to use i386 unless there was a real need for > 4GB of memory. Dave On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 11:25 AM, Scott Moser
