[R] package installation failure virtualisation environment

[William Dunlap]

The log files may not have the name of the process ("R"), but only its
process number.  A good way to look at the log files in /var/log is to
cause your 'Kill' problem then use 'ls -lstA' or 'ls -lstrA' in
/var/log to see which ones changed recently.
