The equivalent of Cooker in Red Hat is Rawhide, and no, up2date does only official packages + updates.
Cooker or Rawhide will have difficulty installing onto the latest stable release because often packages require MANY other updates. It is also often not a good idea to upgrade unless you really know what you are doing, because many of those packages especially in Gnome2 or KDE3.1 are very unstable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodney Kanno" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Luau Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2002 5:27 PM Subject: Re: [luau] Installing packages > Does it do the newest packages?
