[10:34] <crab> hi.
[10:38] <crab> am i wasting my time trying to change the default username for an instance from user-data via a #cloud-config section?
[10:50] <crab> also, i want to enable the EPEL repository before installing a bunch of packages. the example in the documentation isn't terribly useful: where do the files like /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL come from?
[10:50] <crab> so i'm trying to runcmd "rpm -Uvh http://…epel-release-rpm…", but that gets executed AFTER the packages are installed, so the package installation fails.
[10:51] <crab> should i be using a bootcmd?
[11:44] <crab> bootcmd worked.
[11:45] <crab> but changing the default username didn't.
[11:45] <crab> so i might as well just go back to a shell script that does everything.
