[R-SIG-Mac] R Package Installer listing of available binaries

[Simon Urbanek]

You are using the Leopard build of R - that one uses
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.8/
instead (which has fewer package than the Tiger build since only those  
supporting 64-bit are represented). See also R for Mac FAQ.

http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.8/
is for the CRAN (default) Tiger build.

Cheers,
Simon
