[BioC] Installing beadarray

[Joern Toedling]

Hello,

the call "biocLite()" just installs the basic Bioconductor packages.
However, this function can also be used to install other packages from
Bioconductor and CRAN (the major archive of non-Bioconductor extension
packages).
Try
biocLite("beadarray", dependencies=TRUE)
# or
biocLite("DBI")
to get the package "DBI" directly.

You can also find the CRAN packages via the web, for example at
http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/
follow the link "Contributed extension packages" and look for "DBI".

Regards,
Joern
