The way I did this was jump in with both feet. I did
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
and then sat back and waited for everything to get snarfed down. Since
I'm on a 33.6 dial-up and the ISP occasionally drops the connection on
us it took a while. But once everything finally got downloaded it all
installed okay.
