>             Project: Hadoop Core
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>         Environment: Windows XP, cygwin not installed
>            Reporter: Steve Loughran
>            Priority: Minor
>
> There have been a couple of postings to hadoop core-user in which people can't get hdfs to come up on windows because whoami isnt on the path, which fails with an IOException error code 2. 
> To people not experienced in DOS error codes, this is a fairly meanless number which invariably leads to time wasted and support emails.
> 1. the error could be caught and handled by printing some better hints (point to a wiki page?)
> 2. is whoami really needed on DOS-based filesystems?
