[R] installing R on Red Hat 7.1

[Ray Brownrigg]

I said (with reference to installing R-1.5.0 on RedHat 7.1):

I was talking through a hole in my head :-).

Of course I was forgetting that what I had tried was to install the RH
7.2 version of 1.5.0 (that I had downloaded for my system) on somebody
else's system running RH 7.1.

Sorry about any confusion, and thanks to Jari Oksanen
<jarioksa at sun3.oulu.fi> for pointing this out.
