Use fmirror or rsync, then install using the hd.img floppy image.
Simple and lovely.
rsync will keep your local tree synchronised with the Cooker tree,
downloading only the differences (see man rsync). FWIW, my rsync
script (touch to create the file, edit this in, then set it
executable) is:
#!/bin/bash
echo
echo hdc11 must be mounted to /mnt/local/cdrimage !!
echo for do-nothing test run, call with n parameter
echo
rsync -avP$1 --delete --stats \
mirror.aarnet.edu.au::mandrake-devel/cooker/ \
/mnt/local/cdrimage/hydrogen/
