I spoke a bit too soon....   

Tried to install the Beta 2 on an AMD64 machine and had one installer crash 
(the usual) during manual partitioning.  Once I got by that, I got 90% into 
the install and got an error essentially saying that a file it was copying got 
chopped off.   And the install quit.

This, also as usual, left my machine in an un-bootable state but doing the 
usual 'rescue' tricks of re-installing grub got me back to 13.04

I think I'll wait awhile before downloading another ISO image.
