the pre-installed packages and tools necessary to get started with using
OpenSolaris on
Amazon EC2. You can obtain more details about the OpenSolaris project at
http://www.opensolaris.org.
Also, just like in our previous AMIs, the "pkg
image-update" command updates the kernel and ramdisk which is not
allowed in Amazon EC2. Therefore, in order to prevent your instances from
becoming non-compatible with the Amazon EC2 environment, we have
disabled this command.
