As I said from the very beginning..........I don't have a spare box right now to dedicate to testing 11.0 or I would have done a DVD install.
Me neither. I simply dedicate one of my many partitions to factory, and I don't have kde 4 on it (yet). I have kde 3 and gnome and others. You don't need a dedicated machine, just a multiboot one.
Virtual machines are almost as good as the real machine. Before getting hold of an old system[0] to use as a testing box just for 11.0, I was doing alpha testing on a virtual machine. I still do testing on the VM, but when problems arise, I check to see if it's reproducible on real hardware. [0] It's not really that old. I think it's possibly between two and four years old but it still does the job and, even though it's only got 256MB RAM, it's still usable.
