Yes - been using them for a few days now (but with QT 2.3.2, so some of my
troubles may arise from that), and having fun so far, except a few problems:
Konqueror is very slow, and seems to freeze from time to time (so for now
I'm using mostly Mozilla which works great), and none of the multimedia
applications worked for me, specificly noatun which krashes and aktion which
simply doesn't want to load anything. arts works when playing with xmms.
Since I installed the packages, there have been a few more package releases
(kdebase is now at 10mdk, arts is at 13mdk), so some of the problems I have
may have already been solved.

I have no idea - I mirror the cooker and install from the local repository
:-)
With RPMDrake just add another source and define it as cooker. use a fast
repository, otherwise rpmdrake fails to add the source.
