[BioBrew Users] BioBrew roll 4.1installation problem

[John J. Rux, Ph.D.]

Glen,
Thanks! That did it. I completed the install using the DVD distribution 
that included the necessary OS rolls and it worked fine. Now I just have to 
configure my X server, etc.

Best regards,
John

I am specifying the following rolls during install: base, ganglia, hpc,
kernel, and web-server. The system has two nics, both 3c905b's, one pci
and one integrated, a 933Mhz 80526 processor, and 40gb hd.

you need two OS rolls too:
