On the above webpage it says:
"Leopard build" (available in 32-bit and 64-bit) and the Download is
R-2.9.0.pkg. That is the installer for all-archs (32+64 bit) R 2.9.0 -
and this is the option a) I was talking about and it's the option that
doesn't assume you know what you're doing - it's simply the package
installer as on CRAN.
Higher up it says "R-2.9-branch-leopard-universal.tar.gz" and in the
table you can infer that it's R 2.9.2 patched (nightly build). This is
the option b) which assumes you know how to unpack a tar ball manually:
sudo tar fxz R-2.9-branch-leopard-universal.tar.gz -C /
The reason I said take 2.9.0 was because it's the fool proof method.
[I don't have an installer for 64-bit R 2.9.2 yet because it's not
automated due to changes in the PM].

Please follow the instructions in the e-mail below - I was hoping
they are fool proof :). Do you have any suggestions to make the R for
Mac webpage more obvious?
Cheers,
