Please help a beginner install 4.8pre over existing 4.6.2 Xubuntu

Hello, can you please help me with the following questions?

Please answer in beginner terminology, even though I have installed Xfce in the past.

1) Can I install the 4.8 components over top of the 4.6.2 components on an Xubuntu 10.10 installation?

2) If so, do you just unzip the files and do a configure/make/make install for each one?

3) Is there a list of dependencies I need first, and are they all in the Ubuntu repository?

4) What order do you install the files in?

5) Is there anything else that I need to know?

Thank you!

If you are a beginner, it is not advised to:
- install stuff which is not packaged by your distribution.
- run versions which are not labelled as stable.

If you really want to test 4.8pre1, I advise you to wait until it is available in the Xubuntu Team Dev PPA: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ppa That way you won't mess with your system.
