[R] Mandrake 10.1

[Christian]

Dear all,

I am trying to install the R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm 
<http://cran.planetmirror.com/bin/linux/mandrake/10.0/R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm> 
file   on mandrake 10.1. Since the file is, originally, meant for 
Mandrake 10.0, it is not surprising me that the installation does not work.

The error message that I get can be translated in something like: 
"impossible to install since the info is not satisfied".
Could you please help me in installing R on my Mandrake 10.1?

PS If you feel to answer me,  consider that I am almost an absolute 
beginner at linux:)

Thanks a lot

Christian
