Use the correct index: see ?help.start. Installing a package does not update /usr/lib/R/doc/html/packages.html, but help.start() creates a current index dynamically. If you really want to do this without running R, use R CMD perl /usr/lib/R/share/perl/build-help.pl --htmllists to update the static index. From inside R you can run make.packages.html(). In both cases, you need write permission in /usr/lib/R/doc/html. -- Brian D.
