Hi,
On Windows, 'install.packages(,type="source")' displays the same output
than 'R CMD INSTALL --help' and doesn't install anything...
This is with R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-06 r39158).
> install.packages('cat',type='source')
trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/src/contrib/cat_0.0-6.tar.gz'

Usage: R CMD INSTALL [options] pkgs

tree (/library) or the tree specified via '--library'. The
elements of pkgs can be relative or absolute paths to directories with

Then optionally pack the installed package into a zip file.
