That's the one it can't find. Actually it can't seem to import any

Or is it because I downloaded the Minimal** rather Full version? The
minimal version is already 1.7GB! Can it really be that big and yet not
include such basic stuff? If so, what on earth is taking up all the
space! (The full version was 10-15% bigger.)

Minimal means only compiler: NO libraries except what the compiler needs to 
compile.
Almost certainly wrong for a beginner’s testing the waters.

You should probably download haskell-platform (full)

(I've downloaded the full version. Now I have 25,000 files in 2200MB. And it still doesn't work.

This is exactly why I persist with my own language implementations. My current one is only 1/5000th the size but standard libraries are included!)
