R 1.5.0 RPM's for Mandrake

[mikalzet at libero.it]

RPM's and SRPM's for Mandrake versions 8.1 and 8.2 have been uploaded and
will be mirrored on CRAN shortly.

Please note that the binary -1mdk rpm's are for mandrake 8.1 while the
-2mdk rpm's are for 8.2, install the correct version for your system.

People with mandrake 8.0 or earlier can easily build (and hopefully
contribute) binaries; consult the readme file for instructions.

Please note: Mandrake 8.2 comes without netscape; the help.start()
function must therefore be started as:

help.start(browser = 'mozilla')

N.B. :
Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to get the search applet on
the help page working - mozilla just refuses to initialize the applet even
though the java subsystem I have apparently works with applets on other
sites (e.g. www.avsi.org). This happens both with the version shipped with
8.1 and with the version shipped with 8.2 (I've tried sun java and IBM
java).  An error messages flashes on the bottom bar for an instant,
something about 'impossible to access'. If any Mandrake guru figures out
why, please post. Meanwhile, 8.2 users could consider installing netscape.
