Yep, considering tazwok-experimental will becomes tazwok there will be
nothing to install in fact :)
Also, we don't get last version directly, so we can't use tazwok
update-wok, but when last version will be compiled and mirrored the
fulle setup will only be:
tazpkg get-install mercurial
tazwok wok-update
tazwok chroot
tazwok cook-pkg

I was talking about make ISO to make everyone able to test packages and
use cook environnment easily from it (it allows to cook easily from
live if you have an HDD to put the repository, it's just home= at boot)
