[R-sig-Debian] Repository entry in sources.list
I'd like to use APT to install the latest edition of R in my Ubuntu 6.06 OS. What is the entry that goes in the sources.list file? Please spell it to me as clearly as possible. I'm going nuts trying to download and install with APT to no avail. TIA Oscar

TIA Oscar [ As an aside: you posted without being subscribed which means that I had to hand-approve your post. I am unlikely to do that reliably (as it gives the wrong incentives) so please consider subscribing before you post again. ] All relevant URLs should be in the R FAQ. Thanks to the unfatigiable Christian, we now have 'backports' of the current R to both Debian stable and Ubunto 6.06. Lastly, if apt doesn't want to play with you, send it into a quiet corner, download the file by hand and point 'dpkg -i' at it.
