Would love to participate, but Bug 499854: filedescriptor out of range
in select()
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499854

is preventing any kind of install or partitioning testing for me on my,
admittedly, unusual test system.  Anaconda is failing at what looks like
the end of storage scan.  The interesting part is that Fedoras 9, 10,
and 11 Alphas all installed fine and the only way I could install fedora
11 was to install 10 and then do an upgrade from the 11 install dvd.
Numerous bzs have been entered and the gurus are working them.

All I am really looking for, since my test system is really a far corner
case, is an installer that will let me pick an installation method even
if it can't handle my configuration.  Once that happens then you can be
sure that anaconda code, at least the storage rewrite part, passes the
robustness test.
