Amazon Linux
[2][3] This is not a supported configuration. During install it checks for the OS version and if the corresponding repos are installed. These steps will trick it into running the installer.
- Install required packages and repos

Notes
No package memtest86+ available. No package ecryptfs-utils available.
Do you want to install the network installation boot images so that you can let the client computer install some GNU/Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat Linux, Fedora Core, Mandriva, CentOS and OpenSuSE...) via a network connection? !!NOTE!! This will download a lot of files (Typically > 100 MB) so it might take a few minutes. If the client computer has a hard drive that you may install GNU/Linux onto, put a Y here. If you answer "no" here, you can run "drbl-netinstall" to install them later.
