 * Ok apparently I didnt set my wordpress up with a twentyten Parent & child theme&
   just have a “Twentyten” theme.
 * Can I just rename the current “twentyten” theme to “Twentyten-child” & just re-
   download twentyten again?

 * Your current theme will not be a child theme. It’s a standalone theme. Try renaming
   the theme to something like “My Twenty Ten” and name the folder to “my-twentyten”.
