The original tree is about 8.5 MB. After compilation you can expect it
to take up about twice that. If you install the compiled version and
get rid of all the object files and sources it takes about 7-10 MB
again. If you also install all the available contributed packages,
like the MASS package from V&R, the total goes up to about 34 MB.
If you happen to have rsync installed on your system a simple way to
check out a version is
$ rsync cran.stat.wisc.edu:: # find out what is available
r-release R sources (feature-frozen version) CVS tree (approx 8.5 MB)
r-devel R sources (development version) CVS tree (approx 8.5 MB)
xlispstat xlispstat sources (development version) CVS tree (approx 12 MB)
ess ess (Emacs Speaks Statistics) CVS tree (approx 8.5 MB)
$ cd $wherever; mkdir R; cd R
$ rsync -vCaz cran.stat.wisc.edu::r-release .

Erin: I cc:'d this to the r-help mailing list as I think the answer
may be of general interest.
