[Genome] Questions about installing Genome Browser locally

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Afternoon Yufeng:

Please note these instructions on building a genome browser on
your own genome:
	http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQlicense#license4
Also see the numerous documents in the source tree directory:
	src/product/README.*
And helpful hints at the genomewiki, for example:
	http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Minimal_Browser_Installation
	http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Category:Mirror_Site_FAQ

To operate the blat server over a network connection, please see this
document in the source tree:
	src/webBlat/install.txt
