Dear List, I am trying to create a R package and having some issues with setting the path on a Windows XP . Could you point me to a tutorial that helps in creating R packages ......... Also I tried installing Linux using the Windows installer wubi but it failed repeatedly and everytime it resets my system clock . Do you have any tools etc for easy Linux installations for a Windows user.. Regards, Ajay www.decisionstats.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
If you use Rcmd.bat from batchfiles (its a self-contained batch file that you place anywhere on your path which will find out where R is by looking in the registry and then run it and will also add MiKTeX and Rtools to your path temporarily as well): http://batchfiles.googlecode.com then you won't have to change your path in the first place. There is also some relevant info there if you do want to change it anyways and info on packages.

Ubuntu seems to have a large market and mind share, its installation cdrom is a live cdrom you can test fist, and it has very good R support via binaries on CRAN.
