Let's keep this on the list, since it's a generally useful discussion.
I think it's something like this with Debian packages:
mkdir /tmp/pd
dpkg -x /path/to/Pd-extended.deb /tmp/pd
cd /tmp/pd/usr/bin/
./pd
Or since they are regular packages, you can easily install the new one, test it, then install the stable one when you are done.

Hi Hans,
I would like to assist with the testing, but also need to always have a working system, is there an easy way to install two versions of PD and not hove them interfere with eachother?

Hey all,
I've been fixing quite a lot of bugs in preparation of making the Pd-
extended 0.40.3 release. It's getting pretty much ready, so please
test it heavily so we can find any outstanding bugs!
Jack just pointed out that pdp on Mac OS X/PowerPC is having problems
loading videos, and is crashing, so I am working on that now.
