forwarded to the cooker mailing list. since you're using the
beta, why not
sign up for the [cooker] list? doing so will allow you to
participate more
fully in the beta testing process.

Because the cooker mailing list generates a lot of traffic,
and I have not (and cannot get because of location) a
broadband connection that could handle the load!

BTW, Deno told us to report bugs here on Mandrake Forum when
Beta 1 came out!

Additional information: tried to install again, this time
using a ReiserFS partition. Same message (i.e. cannot install
boot loader on an XFS partition).
