[16:34] <elmoro> hello
[16:35] <elmoro> i have a problem with elastic fox and the command line tools - can anyone help me?
[16:36] <elmoro> I try to make an instance of image ami-7a86ae0e but i cant find it with the command line tools?
[18:30] <erichammond> elmoro: That image is in Europe.  When using the command line tools, specify "--region eu-west-1"
[18:31] <elmoro> oh the master of the images
[18:31] <elmoro> thx for the hint - i am a newbie..
[18:31] <elmoro> thx for your great work with ec2.
[18:32] <elmoro> when u are in cologne germany u get a big cup of beer
[18:44] <erichammond> I live in Los Angeles and am not a fan of traveling, but please express your gratitude by helping somebody else.
[18:44] <erichammond> Welcome to EC2 :)
[18:49] <elmoro> thx and i will do my best ;)
[18:50] <elmoro> a good hint for set up the networking?
[19:01] <erichammond> elmoro: I'm off to http://ThursdayLunch.com but you  might want to be more specific in what you're looking for so folks can help out.  There is also a ##aws channel with a slightly different mix of experts.  Both channels can take hours for a response to show up.
[19:02] <elmoro> ok bye
[23:23] <erikd> if i base an ami "ami-a" on another ami "ami-b" and ami-b gets removed from s3, do I lose access to ami-a?
[23:33] <erichammond> erikd: Once you have an instance running, you no longer have a dependency on the original AMI, so "ami-b" is safe.
[23:35] <erikd> the reason i ask is because i'm basing an ami for myself on one of the ubuntu amis and bundling that one to my s3 account.  i was hoping to continue working on the ami i bundled and base more amis off that (for updates to software and everything). i can't really afford to keep all those amis between the ubuntu public ami and my most current one in s3, though
[23:36] <erikd> i was looking through the manifest for one of the test amis i made and it included a reference to the original ami, is that just for historical purposes or is my bundle actually a diff on the original?
