[R] Installing R and modules on Unix OS

[Don MacQueen]

The manual
     R Installation and Administration
available from CRAN should help with this.

I believe that one needs sys admin privileges for the default 
location, but that it is not difficult to change. (and it's 
"packages", not "modules")
