Thanks ... it became apparent that the boot hang (or need to "noresume" boot) was persistent; I went into MCC and reformatted the swap partition. All /appears/ well.
To answer the unasked question previously posed as an opinion :-), this "newbie" runs Cooker because I ended up here by accident back around the time of The Great Mirror Reshuffling of 2004.
Since nothing critical is run on, or stored on, this install, I stuck around because I figured I'd learn even faster than relaxing with one of the commonly dubbed "stable" releases. And, so far, that has been true, I think.
Though, if the listmembers in general feel no questions should be asked by a Cooker user, I certainly wouldn't fight that consensus. Just let me know, y'all, okay?
