R help - Mar 2009 - How to generate fake population (ie. not sample) data?

This seems like it should be obvious, but searches I've tried all come
up with rnorm etc.

Is there a way of generating normally-distributed 'population' data
with known parameters?

Cheers, CB.

In what ways is rnorm not a satisfactory answer?
