- Burn the iso file (Use "Create CD from CD Image" on Easy CD Creator).
- Set your computer BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM

Changing the database:
The included databases are: SARS, Smallpox and H5N1. To include your own database(s), you will need to copy all the CD content into a Linux filesystem. Then copy the blast formated files into /rootcopy directory. Insert the databases in the db subdirectory. Edit the blast html files (blast.html, megablast.html, etc), and add the database names to the DATALIB select section. Edit the blast.rc file to reflect the changes. To create the new iso, use the bundled create-iso.sh script (instructions provided inside the script).
To avoid this hassle, just write to us to info@genesdigitales.com and we will provide a quotation for a customized CD.
