Do you have DSL or cable? If so, it's simple. Just install woody as normal. When you get to the end where the installer asks if you want to run tasksel say 'no' and when it asks if you want to run dselect say 'no'. Then reboot when it tells you to. When you get to a login, log in as root, edit /etc/apt/sources.list

cd /etc/apt
vi sources.list

change the listings in there to:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

I'm not really sure about that last line. I KNOW that there are no security updates for unstable (sid) which is what I run. There may (or may not) be security updates for testing.

Now, since we have changed our sources, do the following (as root):

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

THEN, run tasksel and/or dselect. Have fun.

I've never used the CD's, so I can't help you there... sorry.

You can install using the woody disks and after the instalation is complete insert the first sarge disk and type:

apt-cdrom add

Then repeat the process for the other sarge disks.
Finally do:

apt-get upgrade

That way you'll have sarge running in your box
