R help - Mar 2013 - List of default packages (that come with R)

Hello,

Is there an R function that tells me the packages that come with R e.g.
c("base","boot","methods","mgcv",...)

Thank you

Assuming you haven't removed any core packages you could look at
the "Priority" column in the output of installed.packages().  I think
all
the ones marked "base" or "recommended" are shipped with R:
  > i <- installed.packages()
  > i[ i[,"Priority"] %in%
c("base","recommended"), c("Package",
"Priority")]
             Package      Priority     
  base       "base"       "base"       
  boot       "boot"       "recommended"
  ...
  mgcv       "mgcv"       "recommended"
  ...
  tools      "tools"      "base"       
  utils      "utils"      "base"

If you use the default configuration of R that makes use of a user
library then this will show the packages that come with R:

.libPaths("")
library()

You may wish to restart a new session after that to reset .libPaths() properly.
