1. What R versions are supported? I'm happy to do this on both R-2.1.0 and R-SVN-current-as-of-today, but if either is known to not be supported, it will save me time tracking this down. I'm not too interested in pre-2.1.0 releases, although I imagine others might be.
I'm getting 404 errors looking for the 2.2 binary release directory when I run getBioC. Perhaps getBioC should check the version and warn if we're using 2.2?
2. What to do about previous bioconductor installations? Do we support getBioC for 1.6 on top of existing packages? Is there an expectation that users blow away there old versions? Either approach seems like it might be reasonable, but I'll skip testing the install-over-previous-bioconductor thing if that's unsupported/ known-not-to-work.
Is there an easy (or otherwise recommended) way to uninstall a BioC installation? Thanks again, Cyrus
