First, I am trying to uninstall my old version of R with "make uninstall".

This has not worked for me, meaning I can still use R, so instead I
removed the directory
rm -fR R-2.10.1
Is one method preferable to another. And what am I doing incorrectly
with "make uninstall"?
Don't know, probably not many are using it and it may be fairly untested.
My second question is about installation. I just installed the new
version for Windows,and it took a few minutes.
But this was from the installer (i.e. precompiled binaries).
On linux, I
downloaded the R tar.gz file
tar xzvf R-2.9.1.tar.gz (old command)
./configure
make
make check
This process takes about 2 hours. I'm curious about the time it takes,
and wondering if I am doing any incorrectly?
2 hours sound fine if you are installing from sources and apply the
checks afterwards, given your machine is not an extremly fast one.
Should be roughly the same under Windows when installing from sources.
On my rather fast multi-core Windows server, parallel make and with
pretty fast RAID array it takes 1:50 including
make check-all
Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks,
Juliet
