Sorry, but in all my blathering I forgot the most important part :(

Before you do the "apt-get dist-upgrade" step, it is highly advisable to 
upgrade a few of packages from their Potato versions first.  You should 
"apt-get install dpkg apt debconf".

All of this and more is explained in section 3 of the Woody release 
notes for the Alpha at: 
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/alpha/release-notes/ (for the html 
version).  I suggest you read this document... in fact, d/l the text 
version and print it out before you start.  You won't be sorry...

Cheers,
