Either way will work. If I were in you situation I would proceed as
follows.. :)
1) Install a base system with the sarge cd you have.
2) Once sarge is installed edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change the deb lines
that say sarge (or stable) to etch. Then "apt-get update" and "apt-get
dist-upgrade" Then install sound, x and desktop as you like.
Etch does have a nice new installer that you may like to try out though.. :)
