This is exactly what I want.  Not to create a 12Gb iso...
The problem is shifted to where to find a jigdo template or how to create it
accordingly.
Using the jigdo file for F9 alpha at fedoraunity, changing the server line
in it to point to local tree and using jigdo-lite, it founds only 135 of
2009 files needed.....

In what will they differ? the first one above (beta) will match with this
latest in a particular moment (release of beta)... or not?

Thanks

Thats because your rawhide tree is very different from F9 alpha now.  The jigdo 
template has not only the package name but versioning as well, so most of your 
packages are not correct.  I've never tried building jigdo templates so I don't 
know what you need toolwise, but you need a jigdo template that uses the same 
package list with updated versions.
