There is no updates source for cooker.

We do carry all updates. But a better option would be to allow the user to enter the updates site, and even better to be able to save the option when saving an autoinst floppy. We have an internal updates server, and I don't see why it shouldn't be easy to have DrakX allow this. BTW, with the recent Blaster worm for Windows, it would be nice to be able to punt "easy-to-setup, reliable, secure update mechanism", since that is the only reason Windows machines on our campus were compromised. We have an internal Windowsupdate mirror, but very few machines were configured for it. Of course, and easy way to setup automated, unsupervised updates (ie via cron) would also help ...
