Dear Ajay, This is a consequence of installing the dependencies (including "suggested" packages, etc.) of the Rcmdr package, their dependencies, and so on recursively. The alternative would be for the Rcmdr package to specify its direct dependencies via "depends" rather than "suggests," but then these dependencies would be loaded whenever the Rcmdr is loaded.
If you have a better idea, I'm certainly open to it, since many, probably most, of the packages that get installed aren't really needed by the Rcmdr or by the packages on which it directly depends. The whole business takes about 10 minutes on my not-all-that-fast Internet connection and occupies about 250 MB (considerably less than 10 US cents at today's hard-disk prices), which doesn't seem terrible to me.
