Glad you're up and running Ashleigh, but sorry you had to resort to a
fresh install.

It would be helpful to hear from others who have upgraded from woody to
sarge.  I too was under the impression that editing
/etc/apt/sources.list, and then:

$ apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

would be all that's required.  Is this in fact how others have
successfully done this upgrade?  Are there any other gotchas that people
have encountered in doing this?

Thanks,
