[R] Mandrake 10.1

[Lefebure Tristan]

I'm running R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm under Mandrake 10.1 without problem.
I know that there is a problem of dependency with other packages. 
Try that from a shell (eg: Konsole):

cd path_to_your_R_rpm
su
urpmi info-4.7-2.mdk
rpm -i R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm


Just a remark: While encountering problems under Linux, the "solution" is not 
to move to an other distribution... (in this way you will change of 
distribution each month, and become a super linux installer ... but not a 
good linux user)
