Let's get Cooking!

I have Gentoo on a fresh system right now (I had to wipe my Mandrake system to partition this baby the way I want it, but now I figure I could put 8 distros hereon if I so choose! :thumbs: ) So I would like to put Cooker on next and am wondering the best way to do it after reading Mandrake's howto:

:idea: Somehow use Gentoo to begin the cooker installation (chroot'ing?) or to download the necessary RPMS (I have the space)

:idea: Install MDK 10 OE first and then upgrade via cooker urpmi mirrors

:idea: (The boot disk option won't work for me, as I have a wireless card as my only current internet access.)

 

What do you think?

Cooker has it's moments. If you have other distros you'll be ok. Once I was in debian for a week because kde and X were borked (going to XFree-4.4 from 4.3). Things usually get fixed pretty quick. I upgrade from 9.2 to 10-beta's through cooker and went on to OE :P .....with only that one week down. Then continued for a while til something happened with windows/bootloaders/partitions etc.....I think that was the longest continual install of ML I've ever had. Cooker isn't as bad as it used to be. Burn Baby Burn! :headbang:
