And here I go replying to my own post...
We have used the install CD you did and then run an update-type install of
8.0 which would not of course affect any of the cooker packages on that first
install but would flesh out the missing stuff with 8.0 standard packages.
The problem with framebuffer remains--there are some cards and XFree drivers
that just don't do it well at all. It does appear to be card-specific with
some of the ATI series leading from behind. The framebuffer problem can be
alleviated somewhat by not disturbing the default setings for console size.
Some of the other problems are artifacts of snapshotting cooker which is
never guaranteed not to make your computer burst into flames.
XFS obviously we are experimenting with, with the cooperation of SGI, but
please don't expect any cooker product ever to be stable. It is there to
test features and discover and fix bugs and to discover the bugs created by
the bugfixes..... Cooker is NOT 8.0 ... It is already well beyond 8.0.
