Installing Mac packages from a directory of .tgz files
Thanks, Brian. I followed your modification of Berend's suggestion and everything worked nicely! Now I have a seriously non-toy version of R on my Mac as well as my PC. The command line solution is perfect, but it occurs to me to ask if I could have done this via the Packages & Data Gui if only I had been able to understand it? Murray

Repeat for other packages ( you can also set pkgs=c("pkg1.tgz",
"pkg2.tgz",...) )
good luck

OK, thanks Berend! - I think that worked for the first package. Now I need to form a pkgs character vector with the names of the other 2646 packages. One way I thought of was to open a terminal window in the package folder, do an ls, then edit in all the commas and quotes. Perhaps you know an easier way?
I do, and told you one .... (hint: I used dir()).
