Larry,

There are several step-by-step installation guides posted on the 
CRAN, under contributed documentation. Most documents there begin 
by describing how to download and install R.

And yes, I use Agresti and Finlay (1997) "Statistical Methods for 
the Social Sciences" paired with Verzani's (2005) "Using R for 
Introductory Statistics". I teach a graduate sequence in statistics 
for sociology students. By the way, I heard the new Agresti and 
Finlay edition was coming out soon.

Cheers,
Tony
