Thanks for putting this together, David! Let's move into the coming Bigtop
book (at some point) ;)

Here's a suggestion:
 - the slides imply the use of the Bigtop master branch
 - which makes the sequence of the steps in slide #3 suboptimal. What I'd
   recommend to be done - and it will be less error-prone - is:
   1) install puppet
   2) clone bigtop and cd into the workspace
   3) run
        puppet apply --modulepath=. -e "include bigtop_toolchain::packages"

Slide #4
    step 1)
        IIRC '#' in the csv file will break Puppet execution
        jdk_package_name,<your java version> - it should be java package name, 
rather than just a version
    step 2) you don't need to make /data be owned by hdfs - only directoies 
/data/{1..4}
    step 3) needs to mention that deployment step has to be run on _each_ node.

As a practical note, I'd recommend to stay away from using 'jps' command as
it's known to have funny issues. 'ps aux | grep java' is usually a bulletproof
way to go.

Hope it helps,
  cos
