Hi Jason, You may need to hack the code I'm afraid. It gets the home dir as part of reading the configuration file. Look for where it uses getAppUserDataDirectory. In particular it's used indirectly in baseSavedConfig, though it should mostly get overridden if the config file is found. So additionally you'd need to specify a cabal config file on the command line to avoid it looking for ~/.cabal/config
Let us know how it goes, we can integrate changes you make.
