R help - Oct 2004 - library/utils/man/utils.RD.gz : Nosuch file or directory

R-help

I have installed R 2.0.0 ( Windows) on my machine and had several
'crashes' while working on it.

I have reinstalled a couple of times and still got strange behaviour
from time to time(screen goes white and no prompt is printed out,,,)

Last time I have reinstalled I checked the md5sum.txt (md5sum output
for the setup program and went O.K) and also Md5 from which I paste a
piece of output :

.
.
md5sum: library/utils/man/utils.Rd.gz: No such file or directory
library/utils/man/utils.Rd.gz: FAILED open or read
.
.
.
md5sum: library/tools/man/tools.Rd.gz: No such file or directory
library/tools/man/tools.Rd.gz: FAILED open or read

.
.
md5sum: WARNING: 25 of 3229 listed files could not be read

The "FAILED open or read" message appears for every library provided
with the R program

I don't know if there is any connection between this and the problems I
encounter.

Any explanation/solution for this?

=======================System specifications:

Microsoft Windows XP professional (Version 2002)
Pentium 4
M CPU 1.80 GHz
512 MB RAM

Thank you in advance

That's fine as you probably did not install those files (they are 
optional).

*However*, no one ever suggested that you run md5sum over the enclosed
md5sum.txt, but rather that you run the enclosed md5check.exe program
which knows how to find out which files you installed. See the CHANGES
file for how to use this.
