R help - Oct 2007 - Query installing R on Mac OS X Leopard (new release)...

Thanks to Mark, Moshe and David for helpful responses to my query on
Regression.

I am now trying to install <R-2.6.0.dmg> on my Macbook Pro running OS X
10.5
(ie Leopard) since last weeken, so far without issue.

At the prompt ³Installation Type² (after destination drive is selected) the
4 parts to be checked are all grayed out and so also is the (Install)
button.  I can¹t seem to continue nor work around this ?  I am wondering
whether this is related to Leopard (documentation says OK for Mac OS X
10.4.4 or higher).

Has anyone observed/worked around this problem please, or might suggest a
solution ?

Sorry again if the wrong forum, I saw no R/Install query group.
Thanks.../Rob

MacOS X users, please note:

which contains threads on this issue.

It's the best place for help on MacOS-specific problems (although I 
understand many MacOS users will have no idea what other OSes do, surely 
the installer and GUI console are clearly MacOS-specific).
