SNIP!
ONLY if you are a Cooker user. If you are not, and are an 8.2 user,
then you don't know what's a bug in Cooker and what's not, right?
Perhaps the bug you found in 8.2 has been fixed before you report it
to Cooker.
b.
Let's suppose, for just a moment, that you've been subscribed to the Cooker
mailing list for a few months (on-and-off) and, when you do a search (on the
flood of e-mail that you've received--relevant to a bug that has mangled your
partitions--and you were smart enough to ignore Mandrake Expert because
you realize that it's a cruel joke of some sort), you can't find anything
even remotely related to what you're trying to report.
Would it not then be reasonable to post a query to the cooker? Sure, it'll
probably be ignored, but where else would you post it? (I know that
the Mandrake-cooker crew has talent--they've surprised me before. But it
seems to take a release or three, just to get their attention...)

P.S. If you're wondering why I'm babbling about this, please refer to the
message titled PCMCIA Netcard works! Partitioning is still ugly tho...

to be tomorrow? [Lord Vetinari]
