Well, rsync finally finished over the weekend and I did a 'British' hd 
install � la Ron Stodden.

I congratulate you Cookers for a great installation.  A few points follow:

1.  I kept getting  the "There was an error installing packages:" message
    for locales-es, ~pl, ja, netscape-polish, ~japanese, ~spanish, etc.,
    none of which I had selected (expert install - workstation).

2.  I have a Promise Ultra66 controller which _was_ recognised, but I
    couldn't boot - I had to use my 7.1 boot floppy to get in and do
    repairs. It got a little bit further before it hung - reported finding
    hde, hdg and hdh - then nothing.  I had to remove the 
    'append=" ide3=autotune ide2=autotune"' line from lilo.conf to make 
    it work.  I put back in its place 'append=" ide2=0xd800,0xdc02 
    ide3=0xe000,0xe402'.  I used to also have 'optim' on this line.  Is 
    that still valid?

I'm very impressed with the still rough-around-the-edges KDE.  There must 
be some things it doesn't like though, because I made a terrible mess of 
it doing a manual upgrade - support, then libs, base, etc.  But the Cooker 
install makes a very good job of it
