I think you did not download true copies of the iso images
because my downloads and those of hundreds of others worked
fine, and the iso images made it clear that 4.0 was not
regarded as the one for choice at his time. But it did
install on most of my systems and the error was not failure to
locate the package, but rather that it did not have an
appropriate driver.
Cooker you can find by navigating to www.linux-mandrake.com
and clicking on updates or developers list or just about
anything that brings you eventually to a list of mirrors.
Most of hem carry a direcory called
Mandrake-devel
Which has the latest and greatest stuff, also the most
experimental. DON'T touch those packages if you expect
finished commercial product--it is for people to find and
report bugs.
It is in two directories, cooker and contribs. Cooker
contains what will be in the next release when it is
sufficiently debugged. Either set of packages, cooker or
contribs, has no warranty, You break it, you keep the pieces.
It turns you into a sperm whale, you live on a diet of giant
squid.
One place you can find cooker is
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake
-devel
Civileme
