I hate to say this, but if you are having problems defining new media in
MCC, then you probably should not be running cooker. The reasion for
this is that cooker is used to debug packages before they make it into
the normal distribution. So there are times when things are not going to
work right. There is not much support for cooker on the newbie and
expert lists. There is a seperate cooker list, but people on that list
are expected to know how to do basic setup and troubleshooting. You
would be better off running 10.2 (Limited Edition 2005).

In any case, you should probably visit http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to
update your package sources. You can create a local source from
mcc --> software package --> file menu --> Software Media Manager and
pick Add custom.

But as I said, you probably should not be running cooker.
