   First I doubt if newer rpms are gonna fix your problem. BUT if
you're bound and determined, get the cooker src.rpms and see if they'll 
rebuild on your system. If you get missing deps, use the ones for your 
mandrake version whenever possible. I highly doubt you'll be succesful 
in this on anything but Mdk 9.0.  If the src.rpm won't build, then it's 
almost certain installing the cooker binary rpms you need will fsck up 
your system.  You won't hurt your hardware tho.
