New order of installation steps in index.html #50

Closed lucayepa closed 11 years ago

If you follow the former order, you have to wait few seconds (curl timeout) and you are tempted to interrupt it because you don't know that it is waiting. Setting ~/.awssecret before launching aws avoids this.

I added "--max-time 1", so the time delay is mitigated. Still thinking about how to know if you are on EC2.

Great. I think that for the moment is ok.

I've found that the call "ec2-describe-instance-attribute" is missing. Is it intentional? Or are you planning to insert it soon?

Amazon just added DescribeInstanceAttribute in February.

I have added support for it to the latest push. However, the code currently does not support paramters such as --instance-type, where the parameter does not have a value associated with it. Thus, the syntax for "aws" is:

aws dinatt i-d9e353b4 -a instanceType

You can say describe-instance-attribute in place of dinatt and you can say --attribute in place of -a.

It displays just the value. If you want the xml, add --xml.
