I did try the 1.2 release and that worked right out of the box - positive surprise.
For 2.2.0 I followed: hadoop.apache.org > 'Getting Started' > 'Learn about' - bring up a page that tells about 'What's new in 2.2.0' > Single Node Setup (in the left menu) - tells me that I should do something to 'the MapReduce tarball from the release' ? > Cluster Setup (also left menu) - mentions the conf directory under 'Running Hadoop in Non-Secure Mode' Since I would like to at least give the cluster setup a spin before going any further that's where I stopped. I just noticed that the menu-listing - just under the Hadoop logo - is 'Apache > Hadoop > Apache Hadoop Project Dist POM > Apache Hadoop 2.1.1-beta' Maybe some links need changing?
