After you've finished the installation, edit your
/etc/apt/sources.list file and make the entries there point to lenny
instead of etch. Follow that up with an aptitude update and an
aptitude dist-upgrade to upgrade to the newer packages in lenny.
Before you do that, however, you should take a look through the debian
reference manual and note the difference between the 'stable'
(currently etch) and 'testing' (currently lenny) distributions.
The reference is linked from the www.debian.org home page.

Ok, here's my 'sources.list'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-2 20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-3 20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
You can remove these DVD entries if you're going to use only the
mirrors. Use the apt-cdrom program to add them again if you need them
later.
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb http://www.dedale.eu.org/mirror/debian-multimedia/ stable main
deb-src http://www.dedale.eu.org/mirror/debian-multimedia/ stable main
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian etch non-free [contrib main]
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian etch non-free [contrib main]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so my guess, BOLD texts are to be replaced with "testing" (last 4 lines)
also, contrib main should be appended in last two lines as i have shown.
Then i'll do the update. Am I correct?
Pretty much yes. You might want to replace with 'lenny' instead of
testing, so that things will be smoother when lenny is released, but
there is some time for that, I think. :-)
shall I delete first 5 lines from my 'sources.list' ?
PS: Please don't send debian-user mail off-list.
