The etch installer, if it is available, is unlikely to work as well as
the sarge installer.  The prescribed approach is to use the sarge
installer (preferably netinst.iso if you have a fast connection) and
after a minimum install, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list substituting
references to 'stable/sarge' with 'testing/etch'.

Then run as root:

# aptitude update

# aptitude dist-upgrade

# aptitude upgrade (this may be superfluous)
