You could install from the Maverick Trinity CD, then upgrade him in a few 
days, or at your convenience.  That's what I did on the machine I'm typing 
this on.  The Maverick mirror seems to be partially working now.  If you put 
/home on a separate partition, it's easy to upgrade without having to backup 
& restore users' files.
