[BioC] R

[Lukas Jeker]

Hi
I am interested in using Bioconductor to analyze GeneChip experiments. 
However, my attempts to install it have not been very fruitful so far. 
I have downloaded the latest R version 1.7.0 and it works ok. (I am 
using OS X 10.2.6) Being an absolute beginner with R  I am already 
happy that I could run the demos. I did not succeed to install 
Bioconductor though. If I use the install script, I get the message, 
that my R version is not configured to allow http connections. Browsing 
FAQs on the R homepage, I found the information that this function is 
not available yet. Is that true? In other words, can I configure my R 
to allow internet connectivity and then install bioconductor somehow or 
do I have to wait for a next release of R that will include internet 
connectivity?
thanx for your advice
