Have you thought even a little bit about how wrong this approach is? The only way you're going to get _good_ testing is for people to use cooker on a regular basis. The only way they can use cooker is to _USE_ cooker. Nobody who isn't getting paid by Mdksoft has the time to set up a box and test stuff altruistically. There may be bugs and glitches, but major systems need to at least work to a basic degree. Laurent has been known to quasi-regularly put out broken packages. Packages of THE most common GUI in use. Not just glitches, but great, big blowout brokenness. This kind of attitude toward the people who are out on the bleeding edge of the distro will do nothing but engender bad relations with the very folks who are, generally speaking, your most passionate advocates. -- Brad Felmey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Uncompensated Mandrake Guinea Pigs, Inc.
