Hi I got a bit nostalgic and decided to try to install nhc98, but I'm afraid at least the download instructions and the start script is out of date. Both the documentation and the start script uses --partial, and that option does not exist in the darcs I got when I installed one today from Ubuntu Software Center (darcs 2.7.99.1). The download seems to work when I removed --partial, but now darcs complains. *********************************************************************** _______ Sorry for the wait!
