[R-SIG-Mac] R 2.12 install all dependencies

2010-10-20 Thread Denis Chabot
Hi, I just installed R 2.12 and it seems to me the way progress is reported when installing packages is different. I picked a few packages to install and I selected install dependencies. R's spinning wheel spinned endlessly, with no text appearing in the console to indicate progress. I was

Wikipedia didn't tell me about sysctl hw.model, and I had to correct their misspelled Gainestown (Gainstown on Intel sites, and in log reports on my Mac). I prefer to check on Simon :) Thank you very much for your clear explanations. Steven McKinney
