Fedora has, for several years now, offered R via the normal Fedora yum repos. Thus, the RPMs are no longer on CRAN. The same for RHEL via the EPEL. That being said, I presume that you are aware that Fedora 10 was EOL'd back in late 2009. Thus, you have not had any bug fixes, patches, security updates, etc. for 3 years, which tends to obviate the reason for using Fedora, which is a bleeding edge Linux distribution. Fedora only supports a given release for around 18 months and the current stable release is Fedora 17. I would advise you to upgrade your Fedora version. Once you have, you can use: yum install R from the CLI as root to install R. Also, there is a dedicated e-mail list for R on Fedora: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora Any subsequent questions you have about using R on Fedora should be posted there. General R questions should go to R-Help.
