[BioBrew Users] Installation problem of BioBrew0.9 and 1.0(followup)

[Glen Otero]

Well, there are a few options, none of them really great. You can 
download the BioBrew 3.0 beta and use that. It should have support for 
your hardware. However, the 3.0 beta release is a DVD iso, so you'll 
have to hook up an external DVD-ROM to your frontend to do the install. 
The official 3.0 release is only a few days away, so if you're thinking 
of going this route, you might want to wait for the official release. 
Also, for the impending release, I'm planning on also distributing a 
BioBrew roll that can be used to install the BioBrew apps on a regular 
Rocks cluster. Using the BioBrew roll, folks with CD-ROMs on their 
frontends can use the Rocks 3.1 CDs and the BioBrew Roll CD to install 
a BioBrew cluster. BLAST and SGE will stay the same for this release, 
so you shouldn't see any decrease in performance or functionality.

Speaking of BLAST and SGE, would you like to contribute any qsub 
scripts for BLAST to the BioBrew guide I'm putting together? Any one 
else?
