Well I want to test out the new Typo3 4.0 version on my website, however 
I dont want it to effect my original site, just incase the 4.0 is 
incompatible with my site, or any other reason.

So basically I want to create a whole new copy in a different directory 
on my webspace to test out 4.0 there, without effecting my original site 
at all.
