 You need to have {{{testsuite}}} checked out, of course.  Running {{{make fast}}} should only take a few minutes.
 
+== The 6.6 branch ==
+
+There is a branch, for the 6.6 series of GHC releases, of the repositories for
+ghc, testsuite, nofib and the core libraries in the
+||http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6||
+subtree.
+
+To use this branch instead of the HEAD, replace the first command in the instructions above with
+{{{
+  $ darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6/ghc
+}}}
+and use
+{{{
+  $ darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6/testsuite
+  $ darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6/nofib
+}}}
+to get the testsuite and nofib. Otherwise, the commands needed are identical to those for
+working with the HEAD.
