Dear Dan
The solution you suggested did the trick. In addition I also tried
options("repos" = c(CRAN="http://mycranmirror";))
which successfully did the trick in changing biocinstallRepos() output. I
would suggest to modify biocLite comment from
## options("repos" = "http://cran.fhcrc.org";)
to
## options("repos" = c(CRAN="http://cran.fhcrc.org";))
Thanks for the assistance.
Kachelo
