Go to the mandrake site look for cooker and find one of the mirrors. Then Open MCC and use the Software Management Link then the manage software sources Icon. Next choose add update source or ftp source (either one will work) and add in the url to one of the cooker mirrors. (cut and paste is what is needed the browse button won't work) The relative path to the hdlist will be ../base/hdlist.cz click OK and for about 3 to 5 minutes it will be busy chugging away creating the source. From there its a matter of using urpmi --(name of source in my case update) --auto --auto-select. I've got my cooker box doing just this and it does work.. HOWEVER like Greg said, be prepared for stuff to occasionally go sideways on you. It is cooker it is beta software and it does have bugs. James
