I am not aware of later public beta ISOs, but Raw Hide is
the place to 'read tea leaves'. Red Hat Raw Hide presently
carries:

 anaconda-7.1.95-0.200108282213.src.rpm

which is their installer. One might make some inferences from
the patch level. Also in Raw Hide are: kdebase-2.2.1-1
XFree86-4.1.0-3 kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm and
kernel-2.4.9-0.15.src.rpm

Without commenting in further depth, I would note the
stability of some items which earlier appeared in Raw Hide.
The boot occurred due to a power loss when a tradesman was
'flipping breakers' and left my circuit off beyond the depth
of its UPS. Standard warnings on using Raw Hide components in
a production environment apply.
