# install 7-zip, curl and vim
# (Windows 2012 comes with .NET 4.5 out-of-the-box)
# Then use the EC2 tools to create a new AMI from the result, and you have a system
# that will execute user-data as a PowerShell script after the instance fires up!
# This has been tested on Windows 2012 64bits AMIs provided by Amazon (eu-west-1 ami-a1867dd6)
#
# Inject this as user-data of a Windows 2012 AMI, like this (edit the adminPassword to your needs):

MacOS Release Dates for installers that balk at newer dates


Various Versions of macOS/OSX will fail on install for various reasons.
You can fix them by disconnecting from your wifi or network or resetting
your NVRAM.  Booting from your USB stick, opening terminal and doing:
date ########## where the # nubers are below.  Format is: MMDDhhmmYY


13    - Ventura       - date 0101010123 <- Currently not needed
12    - Monterey      - date 0101010122 <- Currently not needed



11 - Big Sur - date 0101010121 <- Currently not needed

About BlueMail


BlueMail is a fairly good email client that I wanted to try out on my Linux machines as it includes most of the features of the Windows-only email client I own. However, while a poorly-constructed RPM for Fedora is available for download, Blix wants you to use their Snap for install under Linux. As this is an Ubuntu-centric package system I had no intention of using it under Fedora 37. Here is how I got around the pain of it's Ubuntu-centricisms and got it working properly.
