Hi!

it seems that the directions in
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=getting-started:installation:eeepc

refer to installing R on a eeepc 701 and actually
fail for a 901 at the first step.

Does anyone have any experience on installing R on a eeepc 901?

Thanks

Agustin,

which EEE PC 901 is it? The one for Windoze or Linux (Xandros)?

As an alternative in case I don't get through
with the R installation(s) in Xandros,
I've installed ubuntu-eee on a usb memory stick
for booting from it and plan to go on with a "regular ubuntu"
R installation, but have not decided yet whether
I'll be erasing the Xandros OS in the internal SSD.
So I'd appreciate help to install
and test R on Xandros to compare.

Thanks

Sigbert,

When I do:
apt-get install ksmserver kicker

I get a message stating that there is no header in
the package (Xandros came in Spanish, so I have to translate
the message, which is not easy)

Aterwards, I have to Edit sources.list file and create
a preferences file. As the repositories that are mentioned
in
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=getting-started:installation:eeepc 

are for the 701, I don't think this is safe, I could just get wrong
updates and screw up everything.

The page states
"If anyone has experiences with a EEE PC 901 then please add them here! "
which means that these directions are not for 901. I'm willing to try, 
but would need someone to guide me. Probably it's just a matter of
setting the appropriate repositories and priorities for the 901
