R help - Jan 2007 - package servers

Hi everyone...

Here's a good one.  I'm using the R installation for mac osx.  An 
overly helpful friend tried to download a couple of packages for me 
(via the menu bar), and in the process, set my default package 
server.  To a server that is not responding.  I can't seem to get R 
to give me the option to set a new server.  Does anyone know how to 
tell R to stop looking for the default server?

thanks,

	-Paul

In Preferences, Startup, Default CRAN mirror

Ken

go to R / Preferences / Startup

than you'll know what to do when you see: "Default CRAN mirror".
