Woldgang, thank you so much. I apologize that it was such a simple, careless error. I do normally cut-and-paste things like this, but my IE 6.0 browser at work won't let me select just the 'source...' line from the page without selecting everything else. Thanks, again, for your patience with a careless error. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Wolfgang Huber [mailto:huber@ebi.ac.uk] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 12:12 PM To: Zembower, Kevin Cc: bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [BioC] Newbie: Problems installing bioconductor Dear Kevin, try source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") ^ (You can use copy/paste with your mouse to copy code examples from the documentation into the R command line if you want to avoid typing).
