>Description:

AMI ami-230fdf4a includes in /etc/motd the hint to run '/usr/bootstrap.sh 
pkgsrc', but that command fails:

 /usr/bootstrap.sh pkgsrc

>How-To-Repeat:

ec2-run-instances ami-230fdf4a
ssh <hostname>
/usr/bootstrap.sh pkgsrc


>Fix:

First, fix the missing space in the [ test in bootstrap.sh:

if [ $# -ne 1]; then

to become

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then

(Add CVS keywords, perhaps, to facilitate finding the source for this?)

For the actual error, the pkgsrc tarball needs to be compressed using a format 
that is available on all systems. :-/
