[R] car package dependencies - solved - thanks

[Martin Wegmann]

Thanks, 

rpm -i --nodeps R-car-..... worked. 

only as info, Install.packages(car) didn't work - no packages called car were 
found - do I have to typ the name in differently? but anyway box.cox in car 
is working 
thanks all for their help, cheers Martin
