[R] List of default packages (that come with R)

[William Dunlap]

Assuming you haven't removed any core packages you could look at
the "Priority" column in the output of installed.packages().  I think all
the ones marked "base" or "recommended" are shipped with R:
  > i <- installed.packages()
  > i[ i[,"Priority"] %in% c("base","recommended"), c("Package", "Priority")]
             Package      Priority     
  base       "base"       "base"       
  boot       "boot"       "recommended"
  ...
  mgcv       "mgcv"       "recommended"
  ...
  tools      "tools"      "base"       
  utils      "utils"      "base"
