question about 2.20 db and stats

[Luis Villa <luis villa gmail com>]

Hey, guys:
How hard is it to get a bugzilla-newer installation running, and to
update the DB (at least to seed it initially) from the live bugzilla?
I'm thinking I'd like to play with some bug stats stuff (and maybe
even reports porting), ideally while not completely knocking over the
live bugzilla with repeated applications of collect-stats.pl, which as
far as I can see means I need a local installation of at least the DB
and probably the whole shebang.

Thoughts?
Luis
