While I agree that the *ability* to create ISO's is important, I
personally do not see the point in making your own ISO of the beta.
In order to be successful in creating the image you must:

a) have enough hard drive space for the cooker mirror; 
b) still have the same amount of space left in order to create the ISO;
c) spend the time to burn the discs

In order to keep up, you're never going to get around requirement a).
This effectively makes an hd or network install most efficient. The 
ISO's provided by Mandrake during this process are effectively
``snapshots'' of the distribution at a relatively stable point in
order to give those who don't maintain a local mirror a common frame
of reference.

Yes, I have two CD's of the Oxygen beta from before I decided to do HD
installs during betas.  But the only CD's I now burn will be of the
stable releases.
