I've got one box running Ubuntu Lucid and XBMC Dharma. Short of booting
to a different partition is there a way to install the nightlies alongside Dharma? The .XBMC folder should be fine using an different user but how can you change where the executables get installed so that I don't overwrite the Dharma install?
Not a problem.

I did it all the time. I compiled my own branches and installed them in

/opt/dharma/
/opt/eden/

In my xinitrc I had this

Code:
#!/bin/bash
VER=dharma
VER=eden

rm /home/xbmc/.xbmc/
ln -s /home/xbmc/xbmc.$VER/ /home/xbmc/.xbmc/

exec /opt/$VER/bin/xbmc-standalone

Comment out which ever version you don't want to use.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
