Create cooker mirror sources for both main (RPMS/) and contrib
(RPMS2/) and then urpmi.update -a -f --wget && urpmi --wget
--no-verify-rpm --auto-select -v in a terminal as root. I just
did this a few days ago an it took 1.5 hours with a 1.5Mbit adsl
connection. Still it's a lot less d/l'ing than getting the RC2
iso's. When you're done you'll actually be well past RC2.
You can use urpmi.setup (as root) to easily add cooker
sources. It's pretty intuitive, you'll figure it out quickly. I'd
suggest uninett as it's a fairly current an stable primary mirror.
If you then keep your cooker install current, by the third week in
September, you'll have 9.2 final.
