[R-SIG-Mac] Where oh where is the idiot list for Mac, people who are special?

D,

As noted by Stefano, installation should be as simple as downloading the .dmg and clicking on the installer. 

If your questions are about R in general, 3 books that have helped me or people in my lab that are learning R are:

1) "Introductory Statistics with R" by Peter Dalgaard
A quick introduction for people that know some basic stats.

2) "Statistics : An Introduction using R" by Michael J. Crawley
Teaches some stats along the way.

3) "Statistical Computing : An Introduction to Data Analysis using S-Plus" by Michael J. Crawley
More in depth than the two above.

There are a number of other excellent books out there (see link below); I list the ones above because those are what I happen to have used.
