Hi Everyone

I just installed Yellow Dog Linux (v 5.02) on an old G4 Powerpc replacing
the Mac OSX. The system is running beautifully. I would like to install R on
this system. I am not sure how to go about doing it. I have installed R on
my Ubuntu system as well as on Mac OSX but there are binaries available for
those systems from the  R Project site.  The Yellow Dog Linux is rpm based
and has a package management tool called yum. The distribution is derived
from Red Hat Linux but is specially designed for the G3/G4/G5 Powerpc
architecture. As far as I know, there are no repositories for this
particular distro to install R. I was wondering if there is a way to get
access to other repositories to install R on my system. I would appreciate
any suggestions and guidance. Regards,

Tariq
