Mandrake 10.1

I'm running R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm under Mandrake 10.1 without problem.
I know that there is a problem of dependency with other packages. 
Try that from a shell (eg: Konsole):

cd path_to_your_R_rpm
su
urpmi info-4.7-2.mdk
rpm -i R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm


Just a remark: While encountering problems under Linux, the "solution" is not 
to move to an other distribution... (in this way you will change of 
distribution each month, and become a super linux installer ... but not a 
good linux user)

I am trying to install the R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
<http://cran.planetmirror.com/bin/linux/mandrake/10.0/R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.r
pm > file   on mandrake 10.1. Since the file is, originally, meant for
Mandrake 10.0, it is not surprising me that the installation does not
work.

The error message that I get can be translated in something like:
"impossible to install since the info is not satisfied".
Could you please help me in installing R on my Mandrake 10.1?

PS If you feel to answer me,  consider that I am almost an absolute
beginner at linux:)
