[BioC] no connection to biol

Hi Alessandra,

I assume that you typed this on 2 different lines? I don't think it
would work otherwise.

It is likely that you have a firewall preventing you from accessing the
bioconductor website to download the necessary files. It is possible
that your browser is configured to use a given proxy but R is not.

You might want to ask your network administrator for details.

Quoting Seth Falcon on a recent mail on the same subject:

Without additional details, there's not much we can do to help.
