I recently started using ubuntu 9.10 and I am using gedit editor and R
plugin for writing R code. To install any package I need to do:
$ install.packages()
 //window pop-up for mirror selection
//then another window pop up for package selection.
After this as long as I am not exiting, the function of the newly installed
packages are available.

After I exit (i use to put 'no' in 'save workspace' option) from R,  if I
want to again work in R, I have to repeat the process of package install.
This reintallation problem was not there in windows(I was using Tinn-R as
editor, I just need to put require('package-name') to use its function).

Is there anyway so that reinstallation of the package is avoided???
thanks
