This worked ok for me both on 64-bit ubuntu (the dialog for choosing a
mirror appeared in the command-line window) and on 32-bit Suse (where
it popped up a separate window which took me a few minutes to notice,
but which worked).
I could not test R afterwards since I have never used it.
The only thing which did not work as it apparently should is that
after the first r.install_packages('aaMI') it says that r.restart()
should work, but it gives an error message (sage0 not found).
Quitting Sage and then restarting is ok though.
