[Rd] Rtools questions

[Simon Urbanek]

Rtools don't provide TeX - that's entirely up to you - so I suspect it may not have anything to do with the Rtools version but rather your TeX installation...

I encountered problems with this a few days ago, so I rolled back to Rtools212.exe.  Unfortunately, I seem to have more problems with that version.  My latest install was under Windows 7 Home Edition.  My previous problems were on Vista, but I also have access to Fedora 13 Linux.
