Yes, it's pretty simple. If you sign up for ISO testing as well as laptop 
testing, there are even test cases for it:

I haven't tried that yet. The next release to test always comes out before I 
get 
around to it...

[ksh shrm]

Yep, I have.

Is the procedure similar as installing ubuntu and during installation,
select advanced option for partition and creating a new one out of it?
Will do that today. However, what's the process for undoing that partition
change? I'm downloading ISO right now ;)

Thanks

You can test it using a live cd/usb disk.

Have a look here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

Pics are a bit outdated but the guide is nice anyway.

Ciao!

Do you have a few unused gigabytes of disk space? I used the installer to 
create 
a 5.6 GiB partition and installed a new system there for laptop testing.

I won't be able to swap my laptop's harddrive, I only have one. I will use
the liveCD amd64 to test. Then use the 32bit liveCD.

Dani, the instructions on the testing page are pretty explicit NOT to use a
virtual machine.

What works for me is to have a spare hard drive for testing. At least on my
old Toshiba and Dell, it only takes five minutes to swap.

Re: [Ubuntu-laptop-testing] Join Ubuntu Oneiric Beta 2 Laptop Testing

i do have a laptop running 11.04 and i'm willing to test for 11.10 beta.
however, is there a way to secure things so that if anything goes wrong, my
data + settings for 11.04 remain the same?

it's my primary laptop, so i can't afford to loose it for more than 2 days
and i need a way to get things back to normal.

i appreciate ubuntu n everyone working on it.
