I'm working my way through a re-education for EC2. I read a lot of posts but find it confusing to keep up with the current state of the art as to what information is applicable and what is not: 1. I had convinced myself that I was being told that I had to use a Windows instance but then found this AMI. It launched for T1.micro, always with the note that it was available for the free-tier which is important to me. Have I been too optimistic or is it, indeed, running with the free-tier restrictions? 2. Unfortunately, after I had spent a couple of hours on installing ports, I installed pkgng. It seemed to install OK but then when I ran pkg2ng it didn't work throwing the following error message twice. /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "Quiet" referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/sbin/pkg_info. and then ... Conversion has been successfully finished Your old packages database has been moved to: /var/db/pkg.bak There is no sign of a pkg.bak anywhere on the machine and, of course, pkg_* tools don't work. /var/db/pkg is still fully populated with what looks like the correct files. There is also no perl installed So my question is "Is there any way I can recover pkg_* tools or get pkgng to function? With only a couple of hours in it, I'm tempted to just start over and use one of the RELEASE AMIs. 3. I also noted a thread where Colin Percival talked about an initial launch as c1.medium to set things up and then restarting as t1.micro. Won't this trigger a minimum bill for 1 month being added to my free-tier $0.00? Thanks for any help responses to get me pointed in the right direction. -- Jim Flowers <jflowers@ezo.net>
