[Cooker] How to set up a cooker system and keeping it current ?

[jens]

I recently decided to explore the cooker and all it's wonders but have
been stumped about how to set up a system. The instructions on the
Mandrake pages explain how to set up a mirror of the cooker on your
own system but there is no reference of how to set up an actual
system. It seems to me that there must be a way to install a fully
functional cooker system and update it daily (?) to synchronize all
changed files. A hint on how to do this or a pointer to a how-to would
greatly be appreciated.
