Seems to have worked now. We had time out problems a couple of weeks ago
too. Unknown cause at this point.

All seems to be working though:

    $ cabal install network-bytestring
    ...
    Installing library in
    /home/dons/.cabal/lib/network-bytestring-0.1.2/ghc-6.10.1
    Registering network-bytestring-0.1.2...
    Reading package info from "dist/installed-pkg-config" ... done.
    Writing new package config file... done.
