You can install any number of versions at the same time, whether
they're normal releases or nightly builds --- as long as you don't
install them to the same directory, obviously.

The only collision is that the latest install is the one you get when
you double-click ".scm" files.

Sounds like we should fix the advice. Can you tell me what you see?

I think the advice is probably meant as "don't install a new version in
the same place as an old version", which causes trouble when the two
versions don't have the same set of files.
