I've run cooker only since 7.2. Current cooker is solid, no
problems on a overclocked XP 3000+. 2266 Mhz on a KT400a chipset
with 512MB DDR 419, Cas2.5, R/C 2, preCh 2, 2-bank. I don't have
or need a printer. I highly suggest you read this site,

Get a connection and use urpmi to update to current. I'd
recommend you first 'urpmi urpmi', then urpmi --auto-select. I use
this alias to update several times a day, alias cook='urpmi.update
-a -f --wget && urpmi --wget --no-verify-rpm --auto-select -v'
I'd also suggest you install the current kernel ASAP,
$ uname -r
2.4.22-0.7mdk
Mirrors have been screwed up lately, but since Sat. (8/23)
they're in order again. OTOH, RC1 was due last Friday. Look for it
to come out very soon (probly why the mirrors were froze ;)
ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-iso/i586
I suspect if you update to current, you'll have RC1

Only issue I've had lately is with DM's. None of the Session
Managers wanna work properly for me. So I boot to level 3 and
'startx'. Nobody else is complainin so I reckon I've got a borked
config file. Level 3 is better for testing overclocking with
mprime-17 and burnK7 tho anyhow ;)

Check the cooker ML archive (or LKML).
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker&r=1&w=2 has a good
search engine. IMO, runnin cooker requires daily reading of the
cooker and CHRPM (change log) lists. If your printer is still a
problem, post to the cooker list, and if need be file a bug report
on bugzilla. Hurry every chance you get, it's gettin late in the
9.2 testing stages.
