Hi,
I'm a new R users (although I have a little experience with S+). I am using
the latest version (1.4.1) of R on a Windows 2000 system.
I have obtained several of the additional R packages ("modules") and
would like to know how to permanently install them. What I am after is
something similar to the following in S+
> .First <- function() { module("module_name") }
This loads a given module at the start of the S+ session so that it is always
available. I'm sure there must be a way to do this in R, but I have not
been able to find it in the documentation or on the FAQ web site.
Thanks,
Chris Edge

I don't think that it is about installation
the packages are installed
it is about loading them, so the issue is about performance
and I think that loading libraries when you need them and unloading them
afterwards is the better approach

On a single-user Windows system, probably the easiest solution is to edit the Rprofile file in the etc subdirectory, adding library commands to the file. Because there's some overhead, it's only sensible to do this if you want the libraries to be available continuously.
