There are delta files. If you have betaN, you can get the patch file,
run applydeltaiso on them (applydeltaiso <old iso image> <delta file>
<new iso image>) to get beta(N+1)

So if you have the beta 2 ISO images, you can go to (for example)

http://ftp.leo.org/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1-OSS-beta3/delta-iso/

get the delta files, and you'll have beta 3
