[R] copying and pasting to R in linux

[Larry Howe]

Louis,

OK, I don't use any GUI, just the command line. Everything works fine on the 
command line.

I had the same problem with downloaded Suse 10. It doesn't contain all the 
same packages that the purchased version does. You have to do Yast / 
Installation Source and add installation sources. They are listed at 
http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories
