...re: It eats all memory until the system dies. Alas, in this case, no Ubuntu package. Since I installed some tens of packages with the same method in the meantime, I guess something must be wrong with the install.packages; at least on Ubuntu9.10, amd64.

Hello Everyone,   Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.   One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?   Thanks,   Paul         __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML
