[luau] Installing packages

[Warren Togami]

The equivalent of Cooker in Red Hat is Rawhide, and no, up2date does only
official packages + updates.

Cooker or Rawhide will have difficulty installing onto the latest stable
release because often packages require MANY other updates.  It is also often
not a good idea to upgrade unless you really know what you are doing,
because many of those packages especially in Gnome2 or KDE3.1 are very
unstable.
