I am required to create a custom Process Template on using VSTS 2010 Beta 1. Given that I did not use templates in VSTS 2008 I am not even sure where to start. The TFS and VS 2010 are all installed and configured.

First I tried to create a test project and selected a built-in template "MSF for Agile Software etc." I wanted to try to modify (customize) it to begin with but was not sure how to do it. I searched high and low but could not find a sample/walkthrough/hint/help on how to develop a process template from scratch. Sorry for the messy explanation but I am kind of VERY frustrated...

You can do this by going to Process Template Manager on your collection of the projects (right click on collection in TFS explorer, Team foundation server settings -> Process Template Manager)

Select template you want to modify and click download button. Rename and modify on your local system and upload with the same tool again to the server.
