Hi Uwe,

It looks SVM in e1071 and Kernlab does not support feature selection, but
you can take a look at package penalizedSVM (
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/penalizedSVM/penalizedSVM.pdf).

Or you can implement a SVM-RFE (
http://axon.cs.byu.edu/Dan/778/papers/Feature%20Selection/guyon*.pdf) by
the alpha values returned by svm() in e1071 or ksvm() in Kernlab.
