Hi Jeremiah!

Thanks for your reply. I guess I still am quite a newbee when it comes to AMIs and AWS.

I was under the impression that they had 11.1.0.7 installed already. But even if that was the case then I should be able to create another installation on top of that...

I am still getting to grips with the whole thing, and when I terminated the instance I lost all information about the AMI. If I remember correctly that particular AMI claimed to be centos 5.2 64bit but was messed up with multiple kernels, running of an fc8core kernel.
