haskell packages: base versus haskel98

I installed haskell-platform on my Ubuntu system. Now I need to run 

ghci -package haskell98 -hide-package base

in order to try out simple things like:

 map Char.toUpper "Hello World"

Is there a way to make this the default?

Well, you can just put those options in your ~/.ghci file:

:set -hide-package base
:set -package haskell98

But, I really recommend you don't do this. Just get used to the modern libraries.

GHCi, version 7.10.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Prelude> map Data.Char.toUpper "Hello"
"HELLO"

Or

Prelude> :m +Data.Char
Prelude Data.Char> toUpper <$> "Hello"
"HELLO"
