Do not install it on anyone's box who is not capable of fixing tons of little bugs. Using cooker as a daily OS is a VERY BAD idea (although lots of us do it). i586 cooker & contribs is 3G on my HD - no sources. Not everything in cooker & contribs gets onto the download CDs. The best way to use cooker is to update with something like rsync on a daily basis. -- Murray J.
