Comment 6 for bug 399747

Thanks for responding. It is not really necessary to install Maverick (which will become 10.10) to test with it. You can download the latest ISO image, and use the live CD to run Maverick for a test. That way it will not install anything on your current system and save you the possible problems associated with trying to backup, install something else, and then restore what you already had. Simply download from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . After burning to a cd, you can restart with the cd in the drive and choose "try without installing" when asked. Do not allow it to install. This will give you the actual development environment to test in, without touching the already installed and working version you have.

Thanks for helping with this. It really is greatly appreciated.
