Thanks for writing this!

I've added a few comments below.

Root access should not be required (although it is sometimes 
convenient).  I have certainly run large-scale crawls w/o root.

Nightly builds of Hadoop's trunk (currently 0.8-dev) are available from:

This is optional.

You can of course run things as any user.  I always run things as 
myself, but that may not be appropriate in all environments.

This is not required (although it can be useful).  If you see errors 
from ssh when running scripts, then try changing the value of 
HADOOP_SSH_OPTS in conf/hadoop-env.sh.

One can now instead put environment variables in conf/hadoop-env.sh, 
since not all versions of ssh support PermitUserEnvironment.

Note that, after the initial copy, you can set NUTCH_MASTER in your 
conf/hadoop-env.sh and it will use rsync to update the code running on 
each slave when you start daemons on that slave.

A command like 'bin/slaves.sh uptime' is a good way to test that things 
are configured correctly before attempting bin/start-all.sh.

Thanks again for providing this!
