I wanted to try lucid beta version too, and hence I had downloaded beta2 version. However I could not find any option to try it as a LIVE system. Is this generally the case?
No, not at all. I think you probably got confused with the latest distro because of its difference in the bootup than its predecessors. Uptill 9.10 you had the options at the start for choosing installer or booting it live. But now the options come right before the login screen. I was confused too. But put the cd in and it starts to go ahead in bootup without asking any thing at the beginning. As a side note, if you want the old style menu to come up, just hit the space bar around 10 seconds after the cd starts spinning at boot time. You will see that it will ask you for choosing between the installer right away or to boot in live mode.
