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! The repository you are fetching is

If darcs 2.4.4 or later is available on the machine with the =

repositories then

darcs optimize --upgrade

is supposed to fix this problem.
