R help - Mar 2013 - Random Sample with constraints

Dear R friends,

I'd like to generate random sample (variable size and range) without a
specified distribution but with given mean and standard deviation.

Could you help me?

thanks in advance

Angelo

   The problem is underspecified, so no, we can't.

   Any random sample will by definition be a sample from _some_
distribution.

  If you give more context someone might able be to help you with 
a solution.

For example,  I want to simulate different populations with same mean and
standard deviation but different distribution.
