The staff here wanted that kde2 could be tested as soon as possible. Also
they believe [and all of cooker fellows here were hardly pushing in this
way] that "the sooner the better", even when quality is still low.

The beta ISO images, are ISO images of the frozen branch of cooker,

This is not a product, this is first beta version.
This is broken. If you would like something that work, please don't test
the betas. Wait for the final version.
