Christian and Michael,

Before changing BiocInstaller I'd want to understand why you are
attempting to install all Bioconductor software packages. I'm not sure
it's a good idea, even for a shared R installation with many users.
For one thing, many packages have external system dependencies, and
unless all those are set up just right, many of the packages you
download are guaranteed not to work.

Why not just install the packages you need, either before the fact or
as you need them?
