Hello, Tony.

Here are some options:

#1 Put your server system disk into another machine
    Install Bio-Linux 6 on the other machine
    Put the disk back into your server

#2 Boot 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from the Official CD
    rsync or dump/restore another instance of Bio-Linux 6

#3 Install 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from the Official CD
    Configure APT for the Bio-Linux 6 repo's
    Install Bio-Linux 6 packages

#4 Give up and install Windows 7 ;-)

HTH,

   Tony.
