Colleagues
At work I've had to migrate from Mandrake 9.1 to Red Hat 9.0 and I'm
reinstalling R. I am having a problem downloading from
R-1.7.1-1.i386.rpm from /bin/linux/redhat/9/i386. Basically the download
does not complete. I am using mozilla, and when I click on the link the
screen corrupts with odd symbols. Is there a problem with the site? (I
don't have any problem downloading the user-contributed packages or the
R-1.7.1.tgz.

(I cannot figure out what it is. The pages look identical. There was a problem like this once before where R was invoking a RealPlayer plugin, but that doesn't happen now.) So you can get it from another site. Or you can just wait until the screen is finished filling up with (apparent) junk and then save that file using the File menu in Mozilla (upper left).
