Fred: Yeah, Fedora uses yum to get RPM packages. That may be the quickest way. However, you may want to check out, the tutorial on "Creating an AMI through a Loopback File". http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/DeveloperGuide/index.html?ami-via-loopback.html This describes building a complete Fedora setup. Although the example uses Fedora 4, I had success with Fedora 10, using their 2.6.16-xenU kernel. I'm able to install any of the packages under Fedora 10.
