This will give you a list of the current base packages: priority <- installed.packages()[,"Priority"] names(priority)[priority %in% "base"]

If you try to install one, you'll see a warning such as the following: 2: package 'compiler' is a base package, and should not be updated Cheers, Rich Calaway Microsoft R Team -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Bert Gunter Sent: Monday, October 23, 2017 12:50 PM To: Rene J Suarez-Soto <rene.j.sua...@gmail.com> Cc: R-help <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: Re: [R] R base packages ?library Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip ) On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 11:36 AM, Rene J Suarez-Soto < rene.j.sua...@gmail.com> wrote: > I installed R 3.4.2 (Windows) and noticed that 30 folders are under my > R_HOME/library folder.
