[Tinyos-help] Hashsum mismatch with Stanford repository

[Faisal Aslam]

The tinyOS installation in Ubuntu is extremely easy. I have installed it 
on multiple PCs of Ubuntu hardy and it took me only few minutes.
I have used the steps mentioned here 
http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/people/aslam/takatuka/install.html.

best regards,
