Hi Kip, Thanks for your reply. I'll see what I can do about getting the precise version (which I believe is indeed 3.0.3) and patches for you. Amazon say on http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ that "we work with our partners and community to provide you with the most choice possible. You are also empowered to use our bundling tools to upload your own operating systems"... so I'll attempt to hold them to that :) I'm also happy to contribute a paid EC2 account for development (within reason) since if we can't precisely replicate locally the environment they run then I imagine the next-best thing would be for you to have access to one of their instances which you can upload OS images to and debug FreeBSD as an EC2 DomU that way. Would you be interested in that? Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help / facilitate. I'll post again when I've got in touch with Amazon. Cheers, Luke Marsden Hybrid Logic Ltd.
