There are dvd images of Sarge. I would install the base sarge and then once
it's up and running edit /etc/apt/sources.list to testing and apt-get update,
then apt-get upgrade, then apt-get dist-upgrade.
This has always worked for me. I've tried the testing install iso's a couple
times and have not had good luck with them for unknown reasons, but upgrading
from sarge has worked well (for me anyway YMMV).
