What do you intend to test?
Currently, I am interested in helping with testing into FC5. My
currently assumption is that the path to do this was to install FC4 and
update to fedora-testing. Please correct me if this assumption is incorrect.
Welcome to the test list. As stated in another response, FC5 Test is a
different animal than updates-testing. Updates-testing is sort of a
test bed for FC4 before the updates are released to the main update
directory. This sort of test is worthy and problems are lesser than the
development branch.
FC5T3 is the third testing phase before the final release. You can
download the ISO files via bittorrent (choose your preference)
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
or via ftp or http from one of the mirrors.
http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html
Choosing the first mirror on the list for example, FC5T3 would be
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/4.92/i386/iso
notice the test versions are labeled as FC5T1 = 4.90 and the versions go
up from there, zero is a number for the first release and 4.92 is FC5T3
Issues I think are important.
Can you use your video in the GUI better or equal to how it used to be?
Can you burn CDs or DVDs correctly?
Do you like the new actions for new programs? Do old familiar programs
work well?
Can you install the system with the install media provided?
Also, you need to be prepared for breakage of some applications and be
able or trainable to work out from under the problems.
