Erroneous question. You have to look at things the other way around. How is Mandrake developed? With a "live" development version - that is, a development version of the distribution to which new packages are uploaded as the developer finishes them. This is Cooker. How is Mandrake released? By freezing Cooker at a certain point, calling it Mandrake X.X, and releasing it. You're looking at things backwards. -- adamw
