Dear Michael,

thanks for helping. The above steps only work for installing R-2.15.1 (from
June), but how can I obtain the latest patched version? In the patched version,
a couple of bugs were fixed, one of which affects me, that's why I would like to
install the patched version. I used to install R from source, but I remember
that Dirk did not recommend this (I had some troubles while doing so), so I was
hoping that there is an "easy" (like the above) way to install the patched
version. 

Cheers,

Marius
