well, in fact that's not that tough :)
the thing you must be carefull about is the `base' packages written in
install2.pm which is specific to cooker.
base => [ qw(basesystem sed initscripts console-tools mkbootdisk anacron utempter
ldconfig chkconfig ntsysv mktemp setup filesystem SysVinit bdflush crontabs dev
e2fsprogs etcskel fileutils findutils getty_ps grep groff gzip hdparm info initscripts
isapnptools kbdconfig kernel less ldconfig lilo logrotate losetup man mkinitrd
mingetty modutils mount net-tools passwd procmail procps psmisc mandrake-release
rootfiles rpm sash sed setconsole setserial shadow-utils sh-utils slocate stat
sysklogd tar termcap textutils time tmpwatch util-linux vim-minimal vixie-cron which
cpio perl) ],
may be better for helios :-)
First have a *good* look at www.linux-mandrake.com/drakx/README too!
