Thanks, but I don't really need a functional server or anything; I just want to have a local copy of Hackage on disk (latest versions only will do) and tell cabal-install to use that instead of the web.
If you have the package tarball, you can unpack it manually and then type "cabal install" (with no package name) inside that directory.
Regarding yackage, I don't think I can open ports on that machine either...
You don't need to open the port. With the -l flag yackage only uses the port on localhost. There are sometimes problems with that in the latest version, but that will be fixed in the next release. But anyway, it sounds like you indeed may not need a server at all. Regards, Yitz
