[BioC] ExpressionSet, fitPLM confusion

Dear Georg,

to use the devel versions of Bioconductor (ie what will be Bioconductor
2.0) you will need to use a more recent version of R (what will be R
2.5): the new code in Biobase uses an argument "msg" of the .Deprecated
function that was not yet there in R 2.4.

See http://www.bioconductor.org/download/BioC2.0/
"BioC 2.0 is currently in development. It is being designed to work with
R 2.5.z and is expected to be released in April of 2007."

 Best wishes
 Wolfgang
