[BioC] Installing Bioconductor on MAC

[Floor Stam]

I think panther is 10.3, isn't it? It is running fine on my iBook, but 
i don't use, and therefore never tried, affy. Sometimes it works better 
to download the packages manually and install them from the folder (or 
.zip) on your desktop, or download and install the source.

I have noticed that there are two different libraries where the 
packages are stored, one within the application, and another in 
user/library. I did not notice that in 10.2/Jaguar, i don't know why 
that happens.

Be sure to install X11 from your panther CDs as well to run the tcltk 
widgets.
