[Rd] mirror's choice when installing a package for R-2.5.0 (PR#9643)

[ken.mailinglist at mac.com]

Hello,

Just a quick message to say that,

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-------

when choosing (with or without the tcltk window) "Bern 1 (swiss)" as  
CRAN mirror to install
a package (function install.packages) for R-2.5.0, the list of  
available packages
for osx seems not complete:

AMORE, AdaptFit, AlgDesign, AnalyzeFMRI, SemiPar, cluster, nlme,  
survival

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-------

when choosing "Bern 2 (swiss)" as CRAN mirror to install a package  
for R-2.5.0,
I get the following warning:

 > install.packages()
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

--> when choosing "Zürich (swiss)" as CRAN mirror to install a  
package for R-2.5.0, it works well.
