Hello David, I am not sure I understood your question.
Are you asking what are the packages that the R release comes with? Or are you asking what recommended packages one should have when installing R? (There is a good list to start with here<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/54763/what-r-package-do-you-use-most> ) Also, are you asking how to not need to install new packages when upgrading R? (For that, you can have a look at a post I wrote on an alternative way for upgrading R on windows<http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/changing-your-r-upgrading-strategy-and-the-r-code-to-do-it-on-windows/>, which might give relevant ideas for your case as well) Best, Tal ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: tal.gal...@gmail.com | 972-52-7275845 Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 4:37 PM, Dr. David Kirkby <david.kir...@onetel.net>wrote: > R 2.10.1 is used in the Sage maths project.
