  <p>If you already have a 1.x tree or an existing 2.x tree, you are better off 
  following the <i>upgrade</i> instructions at 
! <a href="upgrade-tinyos.html">upgrade-tinyos.html</a>. There are two ways to install
        TinyOS. The first way is to install a live CD that gives
        you a virtualized Linux with a complete TinyOS install. Note that since
        this is on a CD, you can't modify anything; you can, however, make
!       a LiveUSB device to use as your TinyOS install. The second way is to
        install TinyOS on your host operating system. When installing
        on a host operating system, you can either use a debian package
        repository or manually instally with RPMs.</p>

+       <p>Of the four options, installing a VM image is simplest. 
+          Using a Live CD lets you try out TinyOS without installing it on your
+ 	 drive. Debian packages are the simplest and best way to install TinyOS
+ 	 on your host operating system. RPMs are mostly a stand-by for RedHat
+ 	 or other Linux distributions, as well as Windows/Cygwin users. If you
+ 	 are using Cygwin, we strongly recommend using a VM image, unless you
+ 	 are completely unfamiliar with UNIX tools such as editors (xemacs, vi)
+ 	 and the shell,
