This was more aimed at those who've downloaded the RC's and want to help with 
the debuging part aren't really linux experts. 
The cookerdrake idea I think would still be usefull as It would provided one 
central location for collecting the info like requests for testing and 
changelog stuff It's certainly not "needed" for the developers but for the 
more casual cooker members it might be of some use. Especially for those who 
want to do testing but don't want to get 200 emails a day in there hotmail 
inbox from cooker!

Exactly your'd want drakbug to be used by those who weren't on the cooker 
list. Those who aren't on cooker list are generally the ones who produce the 
worst bug reports! If you added the features I mentioned to drakbug and stuck 
it on the desktop of the RC's in plain view it would probably cut down on the 
number of bad bug reports that turn up. And having it grab data on 
dependencies, Version and hardware would help in alot of bugs. Think back to 
the isa sound card problem that was in cooker last week it took half a dozen 
emails before it was found out that the card was an ISA version.

> I think a 'build-from-source' tool would be more important to cookers.

Yes the build from source would be the one I'd like the most by far!
