suggested addition to 'install.packages' help file

I suggest that there be an additional sentence
in the explanation for the 'repos' argument in
the help file for 'install.packages':

If the repository is on a local drive, then the
string should begin with \code{file:}, e.g.,
\code{"file:J:/Rrepos"}.


Perhaps I'm missing some subtlety, but it makes
things work in my case.
