I just taught a course based on R-2.7.0dev, where many bioconductor and CRAN
packages were required. For the windows students, I take my
loaded R-2.7.0dev folder, in which all needed packages have been installed,
zip it, and have them unzip it in some specified location so that
there are no conflicts with existing installations. A shortcut is set
to the new Rgui.exe, given a name that distinguishes it from existing
distributions, and this is used for the course.
Can a similar process be conducted with a MacOSX distro? The desiderata
are that a single decompression step yields an image of R with all
desired packages, and a distinguishable icon is made available so that
the course-specific GUI is selectable from doc or finder.
