Apt-get :: Problem installing perl with apt

I have the same problem. I wanted to add R to my hd dsl installation and had to give up.

I thought it would be really cool demonstrating how to do statistical analyses to students in my Grad. Statistics course (Windows users) using dsl on an ancient IBM laptop. DSL runs quite fast in ram on an old 366 Mhz machine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Uncomment all the lines (remove the #) in

/etc/apt/sources.list

Run

apt-get update
apt-get -testing install r-base

:cool:

Hannes,

Works great, I did have to run "apt-get -testing install r-base" twice to get packages installed, but all went well. Now can run Cross-over Office.

Thanks, Mike
