Actually, that's what I'm doing. I may have misunderstood what you were
saying in your earlier message. I thought that you were saying that ever
creating a beta ISO was silly and unnecessary. I agree that it pointless to
download both the tree and the ISO. The only time I've ever wanted to d/l
an ISO instead of mirroring is when mirroring is not an option (such as when
I'm at work on a T1 and all the machines are running Windows NT).

But, since you have the disk space, it would be very easy for you to
run mkisofs via the Mandrake-published script to create the iso
images from the tree and then you would not have to download both the
tree and the iso.
