[Tinyos-help] Hashsum mismatch with Stanford repository

[David]

Hi

I'm trying to install TinyOS on Linux after ending up with a faulty  
installation of it on my Macbook when following the Installation  
instructions from tinyos.net. However, I tried it several times now  
with Ubuntu, Xubuntu and XubuntOS on a real machine and in vmware, I  
even gave Debian a try but nothing works for me.

Every *.tar.gz file I download from tinyos.net is corrupted and cannot  
be unpacked. Not on my Macbook and not on a Windows machine. This is  
true also for the prepared vm images from the site, so I couldnt try  
out those.

The XubuntOS iso image doesn't want to install at all. I havn't tried  
the Jenos vm-image (which is *.7z) yet but I'll do that soon. I havn't  
tried Gentoo yet either but I would like to avoid hours of installing  
the OS just to find it won't work again.

I'd like to use (X)ubuntu but after installing the OS and adding the  
Stanford repositories, installation of the TinyOS packages fails with  
telling me about hashsum mismatches on several files. I get this error  
for all versions of Ubuntu and Xubuntu whether real or virtual. No  
matter if I update the system first or if I use it as it comes from  
the installation cd. I really do hope I am doing something wrong for I  
can't believe this whole thing to be this crappy. I have been  
searching the web already but found nothing helpful yet. Is there some  
way to avoid those hashsum checks on installing packets in ubuntu?  
Does anyone have any other idea what the matter could be? Any help  
would be appreciated.

David.
