Upgrade
Upgrading from SharePoint 2010 Beta to RTM is not supported. SharePoint Technical Program Manager Jie Li points out in this MSDN Forum post Upgrading SharePoint 2010 from Beta 2 to RC or RTM:
Upgrade from SharePoint Server Public Beta to RTM (in-place, or database attach) for general public will be blocked. For exceptions, we will support those who hold a "Go Live" license, they were clearly communicated, signed a contract, and should know their upgrade process would be supported by CSS.
If you need to know how to install SharePoint 2010, then either Download SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 Virtual Machine or SharePoint 2010 Beta Installation Roundup.
