I'm currently mirroring the cooker x86_64 directory.  I like running 
cooker cause I'm a bleeding edge kinda guy. :)

Is there known issues installing the current cooker snapshot?  I'd 
probably burn the boot.iso image and do an install from the hard drive. 

Thanks... I'll probably have lots of questions until I get up to speed.
