3) How to install it into a separate location so it would not ruin my current platform?

You can install it under a different username.

Haskell Platform (HP) is installed for *all* users in one location at OSX: /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 21 feb 2011 . drwxrwxr-x 5 root admin 170 21 feb 2011 .. drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 11 jun 2010 612 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user staff 3 21 фев 2011 Current -> 612

1) How different username will help here?

I meant install new packages through cabal under a different username. The cabal repo should be localized unless you specify --global Please see Rogan's suggestions.

2) Is there any way to see what packages HP includes without actually installing it? Some online document listing HP packages?
