I tried redirecting output to a text file, but the results weren't very
useful. Following is what I was able to capture from that:

cd src/hat/lib;        make HC=ghc all install-ghc

Hm... Compatibility is everything for me. I'd rather have software that
runs rather than something a little faster or bigger. It could always be
my machine, though. Also, I'm not a Linux/Unix guru, although I'm
getting better at hacking around in it and Redhat is improving from
version to version. The hardware is a mid-tower with IDE (HD &
DVD-ROM) a floppy. There's an extra IDE interface for an extra drive,
but it's not installed at the moment. So the hardware is pretty simple
and generic.

Should I look for a system log somewhere? How long should it take for
twin 686 (P3)'s to compile this when running at 850 MHz? No need to
answer these, but I am curious.

Best Regards,
