Running Cloudera Hadoop VM on VirtualBox (revisited)

Running Cloudera Hadoop VM on VirtualBox (revisited) In an earlier post I talked about getting the Cloudera training VM running under VirtualBox. Unfortunately, while the instructions were pretty straightforward for someone experienced with dealing with the various low level details of virtual machines, they perhaps weren’t exactly detailed and direct. So here’s an attempt to right that wrong.

Note: I’ve sinced installed VirtualBox 3.0 which was released shortly before I prepared this post. I’ll try to redo the screenshots at some point using the new version if I find that they differ significantly enough to justify it.
