I have installed version 2.2.0 or R and I am getting a message when  
trying to install packages I've not seen before. Can anyone explain  
this?

"Currently it is not possible to install binary packages from a  
remote repository as root.
Please use the CRAN binary of R to allow admin users to install  
system-wide packages without becoming root. Alternatively you can  
either use command-line version of R as root or install the packages  
from local files."

Hmmm...I was about to send this and I tried again. After some delay  
and console errors, I got a request for my user password. I typed  
this in and got a desired response. Subsequent package installations  
did not require a password.

All this was with installing packages to the system R framework  
rather that user folder.
