I used Bittorrent to download the x86_64 live CD. It turns out to be 778mb and K3B says it is too big to burn for a CD. It will also not allow a DVD to be used. So how can I use the iso image to test? How do I burn it?

Why can't it be burned into a DVD? There are other options like Qemu, Xen, KVM or VMWare if you don't want to use media.

Starting k3b, navagate to the x86_64 iso file and double click on it. K3b will try to burn it as a CD and fail because it is to big. If you insert a dvd, it will never load it and allow you to continue. It seems you must select "Tools->Burn DVD ISO image" to actually get k3b to work. It would be a good idea is k3b allowed the user to select burn DVD when you double click on the file name.
Anyway, I finally got it burned :-).

Ya. File a enhancement request against K3b in http://bugzilla.redhat.com

Scratch qemu. With -kernel-kqemu it blows up, without it just locks the vm. This was with Qemu 0.90.0 + kqemu 1.3.0pre11. The grub screen is also totally unreadable.
Installs fine on real hardware though, only noticed the usual SELinux problems so far. Well that and suspend doesn't work, but that is also expected. Hope to get a chance to try it on another machine or two in the next couple of days.

Do file bug reports for the SELinux and suspend issues.

Hitting enter will continue; the problem here is a bug in the video BIOS used by qemu/kvm/etc.

Yup, figured that much out, but it will blow later somewhere during the installation of packages.
