Dear Rodrigo, I'm going to assume from your description that you're using a Windows OS. In that case, you can download Windows binary packages for the current version of R from the packages' pages on CRAN (e.g., http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/car/index.html for the car package -- note, BTW, lower-case car not CAR) or from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/ (or from the corresponding locations on a CRAN mirror). Once downloaded, you can install from the "Packages -> Install package(s) from local zip files" menu.
The mass and boot packages are part of the standard R distribution and don't have to be downloaded or installed separately. I hope this helps, John ------------------------------ John Fox, Professor Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada web: socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Rodrigo Briceño > Sent: May-05-08 5:13 PM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] downloading packages at local disk > > Hi again R users.
