If this is R 1.7.0, the preferred mechanism is options("defaultPackages"),
as in the following (from the examples in .First)
# Example of Rprofile.site
local({
old <- getOption("defaultPackages")
options(defaultPackages = c(old, "MASS"))
})
.First is run too early to be loading packages.
Oh, and the preferred way to set the browser is environmental variable
R_BROWSER, usually in R_HOME/etc/Renviron{.site}.
