I'm running R 2.1.1 and rkward 0.3.2.  I did think it was odd that I  
was never asked to specify a mirror, so maybe you're right and the  
window is popping up somewhere else.  I figured since the terminal  
showed 'selection:', there must be a window somewhere that I should  
be selecting something in.

I'm writing this on my Mac, but when I have access to my Linux box  
again I'll let you know if I find the missing window.

Thanks for the reply,

Jake
