If you know you're way round a linux terminal then you should be able to work it out yourself easy enough.
If you don't then I doubt its worth the time it would take you to sort it out.

I have not tried and tested this on a free instance but I expect -
Code:
echo >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/tools/lib' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/tools/bin' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/tools/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/tools/bin
cpus=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ^processor | wc -l)

# initial package config
sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum -y install git libcurl-devel python-devel screen rsync

# install yasm
git clone git://github.com/yasm/yasm.git
cd yasm
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/tools
make -j $cpus
make install
cd -

# install and start cpuminer
git clone https://github.com/jgarzik/cpuminer.git
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j $cpus
screen -d -m ./minerd --threads $cpus --algo sse2_64 --url http://deepbit.net:8332/ --userpass YOUR_EMAIL:YOUR_PASSWORD

would work on a rpm based instance.

Someone had pointed out that you can get a free year of Amazon cloud computing - which could be used to set up a miner.  Does anyone have a good step by step guide on how I would go about setting that up?

Thanks!
