Hi Stephen,
I just happened to have upgraded my R today.
Tips:
1) Make sure the folder has full permissions so that you'll be able to
install/update packages on it.
2) I still find the advices (and code) I gave in that article to be
worthwhile.  And do pay attention to the directory into which you want to
install the packages.

Good luck,
Tal
