Bob, You can copy the files from the packages to your new computer. Then run update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE).
That should do. HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.

I have just installed v 2.6.2. My previous computer had v 2.5.1 and a large number of files in the library folder. These files have been copied to a partition on my new hard drive, along with the old R installation. Can I just copy all the folders/files in the old library to the new v2.6.2 library or do the packages need to be downloaded again? There are quite a number of folders so it would be time-consuming to have to do a fresh download. Any assistance is appreciated, Bob ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
