I've just installed R for windows 1.7.0 on windows 2000 SP2 from the
binaries on CRAN. It takes at least 1:30 minutes to completely open Rgui,
Rterm o R in Emacs. It this normal?

Data about the platform:

C:\>ver

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Versi?n 5.00.2195]
sysname                       release
                    "Windows"                      "NT 5.0"
                      version                      nodename
"(build 2195) Service Pack 2"                     "xxxxxxx"
                      machine                         login
                        "x86"                         "xxx"
                         user
                        "xxx"

Thanks in advance,

No: a couple of seconds on a fast machine is normal.

See the top of the CHANGES file for things you can do to speed it up.

Most likely there is a problem with your system though: are
you loading from a networked drive?
