d-i issues

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest d-i:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso

and used it to install a lenny system but only with what was in the iso.

Ran into the following:

I don't want lenny, I want sid and have a sid local mirror.

The reason I don't want lenny is that it takes me 3 days to download a 
lenny system and with sid a matter of seconds.

But changing the sources to sid, dist-upgrade only upgrades 4 packages 
from the 138 installed.

So in attempting to install kernel-package ran into the problem with 
perl: perl-base is installed but is 5.10.0-10 and perl wants 5.10.0-11.

The reason I want kernel-package is I have to roll my own kernel because 
the one that comes with d-i (2.6.25-2-686) fails to give me framebuffers 
so I can't see a thing with those huge 80x25 characters.

Bottomline: how do you change lenny to sid?
