It appears that I am this webmaster (the page states
 Written by (c) 2000-2003 Markus Neteler
). But the page
 http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/statsgrass/grass_r_interface.html#Using_GRASS_R
also clearly mentions "grass5"... And there is a link on top pointing
to the "GRASS 6" installation instructions.

I didn't have time so far to update the page to GRASS 6
(also because the R interface evolves pretty fast).

I can just remove the page if this is helpful.

... which is listed at:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/statsgrass/grass6_r_install.html

Another option is that the entire content is moved to
the GRASS Wiki. Then folks could just update it. I am
maintaining far too much documentation :)

Best,
Markus
