3) How to install it into a separate location so it would not ruin my current platform?
You can install it under a different username.
You can also use a sandboxed build tool like cabal-dev or virthualenv -- both of which are on hackage. (While the HP provides a great way to install Haskell, and it defines a set of mature packages, it is not necessary for development -- cabal install doesn't pay any special attention to HP packages, for example.). Having the HP installed is convenient, particularly if you run ghci a lot, but all you need is ghc, cabal-install, and a connection to hackage. --Rogan
