Is there any way that someone can build and sanity test a cooker iso and
deposit it on a mirror site somewhere? I have burned 3 cds in the last week
and all failed with different ldconfig.rpm and hdrlist.* errors. There does
not seem to be any way to get any version of cooker onto a clean machine,
making it impossible for new users to test the system.
I don't mind jumping through some hoops to get up and running and would
prefer cooker over fisher, but I can't wait too much longer.
