Note that the error reported by Fedora has nothing at all to do with the fact that you're trying to install R. Fedora has a (user-configurable) set of "repositories" -- places to look for software -- from which it will try to install packages. In Fedora 13 (the latest version) the repositories are listed in: /etc/yum.repos.d Fedora will check with every web site that appears in a stanza marked "enabled=1" in the files in that directory when you do a "yum install", "yum update", etc. My guess is that you've got a network problem and/or there's an error in the file: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora Often such problems just magically disappear as intermediate routers get rebooted, etc. As a minor aside, note that if you have sudo set up on your computer, you do NOT need the root password to perform whatever tasks you're allowed to do by the sudo configuration. Of course, you do have to have root privileges to set up the sudo configuration in the first place. -- Mike ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
