* Upload euca2tols tool kit form http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/Euca2oolsGuide
in particular I followed '/Euca2oolsInstallJaunty_v1.1' for my Ubuntu VM deployment,
but skip step about updating /etc/apt/sources.list with 'deb http://www.eucalyptussoftware.com/downloads/repo/euca2ools/1.1/ubuntu jaunty universe'
I did:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install euca2ools
Check euca2ools by executing e.g.: euca2ools
should complain about missing keys but program must be found

Bundle & upload to Eucalyptus my VM 'from within'
* copy private key & certificate to some directory you do NOT want to distribute those with the VM image. Make sure you do not leve them somewhere else on VM - the whole world will hack you later
sudo mkdir /mnt/eucaBuild/
* copy there euca2-yourName-e3e764-cert.pem euca2-yourName-e3f64-pk.pem cloud-cert.pem eucars.csh
* set enviromental variables by sourcing eucars.csh
* setup working directory for the bundle which will be excluded from the bundle
sudo mkdir /image
* Bundle local VM , will take 1-2 hours ...
>sudo , you may need to specify the kernel & ramdisk (values below worked in November 2010) also the 64-bit VM is generated below, use -r i386 for the 32-bit image.
