How to install older version of R?

Dear Jia-Chiun Pan,

First of all, why install an older version of R? In my experience the 
backward compatibility of R is quite good. So using R 2.10.0 should be 
ok. But if you really want this you can build R from source. The source 
can be downloaded from CRAN:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.7.2.tar.gz

Extract, ./configure, make, make install and you have R 2.7.2 installed 
on your system.

cheers,
Paul
