Of course, it would be nice to have it working by default, but Ron always goes overboard on his small niggles in the first two weeks of a release (he could have tested this in the beta series of course ...).
Not so. I periodically tested the cooker tree for the ability to create a good install and a running Mandrake.
Results: Effectively it never does - no, not once! - and this includes through the times that the ISO betas and release candidates were available.
So there is no choice but to abandon beta testing for people without the bandwidth to download CD images. The CDs are constructed incomplete anyway because of space limitations, therefore not worthy objects to test. Stick with the trees, please.
