Great!  I look forward to the fix.

I tried this under my Ubuntu installation and it worked fine.  There  
must have been something wrong with my R installation under SLAX.  I  
reinstalled and it worked fine under SLAX (no root issues, it worked  
both as a user and as root).

I would really look forward to this feature because Bioconductor  
itself has many packages.  Mix that in with CRAN and --without a  
search tool-- it's very difficult to navigate through hundreds packages.

Thanks for the help -- I look forward to rkward's further development!
