Dear all,
Wouldn't it be helpful if the
install.views
install.packages
update.packages
had a "downloadonly=TRUE" flag which would allow us to download the
packages and install them later (or put them in a USB stick and take
them for installation on anothe PC).
I am behind a firewall (Bank) and I have serious plroblem updating R or
installing views (Finance, Econometrics etc. etc.). The download breaks
up somehow and the installation or the update never completes... From
my ADSL at home, there is no such problem.... We can not use FTP
either....
I am particularly interested in the install.views that would allow a
bundle of packages to be downloaded and installed offline....
Is the above possible now? If it is already, please disregard my silly
email...
Best regards,
Costas
