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"
