yes, hack the grub bootloader. You could probably just do a binary in place substitution with sed

sed 's/10.92/11.00/g' -i /sbin/grub

but don't blame me if it goes wrong (this is HIGHLY not recommended)

it'll automatically get changed toi 11 when the official release comes out , so there is no need to change it, bare in mind you may have problems updating if you change the release number by hacking it

You can add vga=795 or whatever the resolution that you want to use to the the line booting the kernel version in grub.conf then it will show the pretty boot screen.

example
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.1-54.fc11.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_supercomputer-lv_root rhgb quiet vga=795
