Well, to me the only test I'm interested in doing is a complete install from iso images (on CDRW disks), this time, my summer holiday fell at the time of the first 2 betas :-( I'd appreciate more snapshots on ISO. With the current bittorrent technology the bandwidth arguments don't apply anymore. Why doesn't mandrake try to figure out WHY less people are testing cooker than they'd like instead of blindly blaming people that "THEY" don't test enough so therefore mandrake is buggy.... Mandrake is the one trying to make money doing this, I can always switch to another distro if I find a better one, so I don't feel obligated to help mandrake publish a buggy OS and then have them blame "me"/"us" for not testing it enough! I don't think this is something we should be discussing on cooker, but something that needs priority #1 at mandrakesoft development planning meeting. How to get more (and happier) cooker developers and testers. And how to release less buggy (or at least less noticably buggy) distros. Cheers Simon
