[Bio-Linux] How to complete installation of new packages

[Oliver Buckley]

The packages that we currently have as 64-bit are already available
through our package repository and everyone is more than welcome to try
them out. We are targeting the packages at the new LTS (10.04) so it is
possible that there could be some compatibility issues with 8.04. 

If there is any further discussion about our 64-bit packages please use
the bio-linux-dev mailing list. Also if there are any issues with the
64-bit packages please let us know through the helpdesk or the
bio-linux-dev list. 

Thanks
Oliver
