how to update installed packages to a new version of R?
This is covered in the rw-FAQ, questions 2.4 and 2.5. I think I would uninstall rw1051, install rw1061, move the remaining files in rw1051/library to some suitable place, set R_LIBS in .Renviron, then fire up 1.6.1 and update the packages. If you use a separate library for installed packages upgrading is very easy.

I've just installed R 1.6.1 and would like to install all the contributed packages I had used in 1.5.1. It's not too hard to do this manually from Rgui, but I wondered if there is an easier way, something like writing the results of installed.packages() from 1.5.1 to a file and using that with install.packages() in 1.6.1, or just having 1.6.1 read what's in rw151/library.
