You can transfer installed packages without compiled code from one
platform to another.
For packages with compiled code, you will need to get the old versions
and compile from the sources. For CRAN old versions are available at
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive
Just what part of this is not in the R manuals/CRAN pages?

Dear all,
after a crash of my MacBook I had to install a new R version on the
new book. In the meantime i worked with a Linux workstation. For
sure, in the last 24 month several packages were updated and I have
no glue about installing old packages (older versions) of these. I
searched in the internet but found no reliable tutorials or manuals.
So I want to ask, if anybody can help me out: Is there any possible
solution to install old packages in an easy way? Maybe transfer the
used packages from the Linux PC to the MacBook? I am looking for an
easy solution and I would be superb if anybody can help me out.
Thanks in advance and all the best
Peter
