[ec2-beta] downloading aki kernels?

[Chuck Short]

No the kernel does not get copied when the ec2 boots. When the instance 
boots it reads from a configuration file which does it magic. Its a 
normal Xen process. Also if you are thinking about uploading your own 
kernels you wont be able to do that either.
