This should start R with no additional packages. More information like this can be found in ?Startup.

With the current version (rw1070), every time I start R it loads a whole bunch of packages, many of which I do not need in a typical session:
search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:methods" "package:ctest" "package:mva" [5] "package:modreg" "package:nls" "package:ts" "Autoloads" [9] "package:base"
Loading all these packages makes R slow to start up, and I presume it uses up memory too.
Is there a reason that all these packages load automatically? Is there some way to stop this from happening, by changing some default?
version
_ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 1 minor 7.0 year 2003 month 04 day 16 language R
A separate question also related to defaults:
Is there a way to get R to refrain from truncating the .Rhistory file (removing the earliest saved commands), so that .Rhistory might serve as a permanent record of every command issued?
Thanks for any info
Jake
