Evening all:

Redid my home box using VectorLinux (Slackware variation) and now I'm not sure 
which game trail to follow to reinstall R.

Could somebody with more knowledge in this share their thoughts off-list. Just 
need a pointer to the appropriate trail head. I can take it from there.

Regards...

Simple installation is very, well, simple - download the
R-2.13.1.tar.gz bundle, for example from here,

http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.13.1.tar.gz

then unpack it and follow the usual steps of ./configure, make and
make install.

See the R Installation and Administration manual at
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html for more details,
configuration and installation options, etc.

HTH,
