Actually, testing points to sarge now. Since there's so little difference,
it'd probably be easier to use the stable netinst and upgrade from
there...

This would be the way to do it. I've got jigdo pulling Woody for me right

If you'd like, I can pull a sid cd-1 for you. It'd be a full cd, not a
netinst. wget could run against
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/binary-xxx most likely.
