[mythtv] Can I have 0.8 *and* CVS installed and working at the same time?

[Mike Thomson]

Now before you ask, I have *not* been smoking crack :-)

I've got MythTV 0.8 up and running sweetly (obligatory genuflections in the
directions of Isaac, Matthew, John, Chris and Robert!).

But like the advert says, "The trouble is it tastes *too* good!"

My wife has immediately decided that she's ready to ditch the VCRs (both of
them) and start using MythTV *RIGHT NOW*.

Of course this presents me with a dilemma - can I present MythTV 0.8
(stable, with a few quirks) for her to use in the daylight hours, while I
enjoy the 'coaster ride that is CVS, in search of PVR Nirvana?

The option of giving her the MythTV box full time is obviously laughable.

I'm assuming that writing a script to flip the binaries and libraries in and
out isn't too hard, and I could probably mysqldump myself an equivalent
function for the database.

But since I have an unerring knack for finding hard solutions to easy
problems, I thought I'd swallow my pride and ask first.

My *nuclear* option is probably based on a dual-boot system, possibly using
two entirely separate drives, with production and development builds
respectively, which reduces my scope of error to /etc/lilo.conf, which I can
manage easily.

Opinions anyone?
Cheers
