Hi Joe; In this part of the development cycle cooker as frozen for release is 9.2, 9.2 is cooker to all intents and purposes. The script used to generate the ISOs is slightly different but the packages are basically the same. The only ISOs I've generated are from my "local cooker mirror" and are called "Cooker Download" after generation, but after install the boot splash identifies it as "9.2 Download edition." If you're impatient for the release you could try that, I don't know if it will work still since I did this before rsync started actually pulling new packages. In other words when cooker was still frozen. Have you run gendistrib yet? I believe that's used to clean the trees before building ISOs but I could be wrong. I'm sure there are notes about it on the TWiki (cooker). http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/CookerHowTo#Running_gendistrib There are links and mini how-tos from that page to MakeCD and other tidbits. Personally I think I'll wait for the 7 disk Power Pack from the Mandrake Store. Disks only, no support, no manuals etc. But not for this box. It stays cooked. http://www.mandrakestore.com/mdkinc/index.php?PAGE=tab_6/menu_1.php&id_art=346&LANG_=en#GOTO_346 That link will probably wrap.
