suggests that install.packages now references .Rprofile (?), whereas
in R-2-8 it did not. Is this intentional?
Yes. And in fact it did in earlier versions, to find the default
library into which to install.
The example is, in .Rprofile
library(utils)
install.packages("Biobase",
repos="http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.4/bioc";)
then starting R from the command line results in repeated downloads
of Biobase
