What OS does the `PC' run? If Windows, the only differences between the manuals built under Windows and under Solaris will be in the reference manual, and you can get a PDF version of that from http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html (although I doubt if you really want it). PDF versions of all the other manuals are there too.
