that still requires some discovery though! The idea (i'd hope) would be to make the "my first ghc install on a vm" (for experts and new folks both)
go from
#install ghc via whatever mechanism, eg wget, guntar, cd blah ; make install PREFIX=yah #figure out how to install cabal, eg discover wget and then ./bootstrap # cabal install thingsIwannaTry
to # install ghc via some wget and make #cabal install nice things
Thats basically how I work on Debian based Linux systems: # apt-get install ghc alex happy cabal-install $ cabal install nice-things Where '#' is the root prompt and '$' is the user prompt.
