Well, not quite. There are some fine differences beween the two
(e.g. ext3 on etch supports dir_index, some fine tuning and better
driver selection/hw detection work better with the Etch installer,
many rough edges have been polished), so is not quite the same.
Also note that will have to change the sources *after* you installed
sarge and that would mean extra traffic (if you prefer to install a
full desktop task, the sarge packages will be downloaded, then the
new ones will too). Changing before will probably not work due to
changes in the kernel and udev.
