I guess that you could download r-base-core (http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/math/r-base-core) together with its dependencies, but I would find it somewhat cumbersome.

My preferred method is to follow the directions from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/) on adding a sources.list entry then installing through Synaptic.

Thing is, Edgy is no longer supported. but you can still get the packages up to the point they stopped updating their .deb repository. The add-on packages should mostly still work for a good while though.

I didn't use Ubuntu 6.10, but in the last two versions R packages are included in the original Ubuntu Live DVD (I use the DVD because I don't have internet connection in my house, and this DVD comes with a lot of packages not provided in the default installation CD). You can download the Live DVD from:

My advice, for a good starting point with R, is to install the following:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential g77 #just in case...
$ sudo apt-get install r-base r-recommended
$ sudo apt-get install r-base-dev

You can find additional packages looking for "r-cran" in Synaptic.

Regards.
