[StarCluster] Updated cookbook for preparation of Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 HVM for starcluster

[Ed Morris]

Justin.

When I run this script I get two errors.

1. When chrooting the image, the resulting terminal no longer has internet
access as the resolv.conf link in /etc is broken as there is nothing in
/var/run or /run. The way I got around this was copying /etc/resolf.conf
from my native environment to /tmp/imag/run/ ...


2. When I run the script after solving problem 1, I get the following
errors:

used instead.

I investigated the addresses and it is true that the directory does not
exist. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/debian/development/dists/lenny/contrib/has
the following directories

binary-amd64/
binary-i386/

Cheers.
