Description

During a Bigtop meetup/class a number of issues were identified. We need to fix all of them on the wiki

Sub-Tasks

• Update the installation instructions so that 'flume\*' is changed into something that doesn't get the extra stuff: Closed
• Recording the fact that Java needs to be installed *before* installing Bigtop (at least on Ubuntu): Closed
• Record the information on slow mirrors: Closed
• Documentation - list additional dependencies: Closed
• 1. Start a separate Wiki page on Installing Bigtop in VMs (VirtualBox) (make sure to record the fact that one needs >> 2GB of RAM) 2. Record the experience with 32bit OSes: Open
• Modify ununtu install instruction #2: bigtop.list under stable directory does not exist!: Closed
