more generally one edits /etc/apt/sources.list
and replaces all references to stable with unstable
then
#apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade
might take a while.
if you're installing from scratch get just the base system
on, THEN upgrade, then run tasksel and set the rest up.
at least thats how i do it.
cheers.
