Installing a Fedora 7 package on Fedora Core 6 might just cause you no  
end of pain to get working. If R is not available in FC6 repositories  
I'd look into trying to rebuild the source rpm (if you're comfortable  
doing that) or else installing R from source (I suppose upgrading to  
K12LTSP 7 is not an option as I believe that isn't stable yet?).
