You can find beta2 here: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...iLIadOS/beta2/
You'll need to run backup.sh first to backup your mobipocket and keyboard. If you don't you won't be able to read mobipocket, DJVU, or use the keyboard.
After you backup, you'll have to reflash your iLiad using the standard reflash method (put the app.image files in the images folder with applications in config.txt). If you've never flashed your iLiad before, this isn't the release for you.

I may have found a bug when flashing, however. There are some files and scripts that are copied from the root directory to the CF card after flashing. After the reflash, the CF card wasn't mounted properly, so the scripts weren't copied correctly (they went to the directory where the card was mounted to). I maybe have to script a check to see if it's mounted before it tries to copy the files.

Let me know what you think of this beta. It's not ready for the average Joe yet, and likely has bugs and missing features. But if you want to give it a try, it should at least boot and work pretty well.
