Dear All, I have found out that R 4.1 is not available for Fedora 34, and you have here advised us to install the rawhide version. However, the rawhide version seems to be for Fedora 35. Can that still be installed on Fedora 34, despite the fact that it is for Fedora 35? Thanks in advance, Paul

Thanks, Tim. I did install R 4.1 and RStudio on toolbox, following the referred I?aki's directions, but, unfortunately, RStudio opens as a never ending flickering white window and it never proceeds. Paul On Fri, Aug 13, 2021 at 4:38 PM Tim Taylor
