The other reason to do the rsync'ed cookers is when the beta isos' end
up not being up to snuff ( lack of menus in beta2 in kde for one.)
Some ideas worth thinking about:
* a daily posting as to what packages have been changed.
* perhaps in the beta versions the Mandrake Update tool being used for
updating systems with cooker already installed. ( I belive Microsoft
did this somewhat with W2K with Windows Update).

I'm cool with that approach. Until it's stable I'll keep grinding my
spare partition to try cooker as a clean install, then I'll replace my
stable 7.0 installation when 7.1 comes out!
(Please more than 1-2 servers with ISO's please....)
Keep Cool guys...
