[R] Integer Sample with Mean Dependent on Size

[Gerrit Eichner]

n_1 + ... + n_N = 2(N-1) is requested for integers n_i >= 1.

What about c(rep(2, N-2), 1, 1))?

but I'm afraid that this was not what you really wanted. ;-)
However, you didn't say if your sample should be random. :-)

  Best regards  --  Gerrit
