howto: downgrade lenny->sarge -or- fresh sarge install?



Hello all:

Seeking some guidance on how to get a sarge install up on a x86 desktop.
There aren't any hardware issues, lenny installs fine from CD+net.

I tried booting from "debian-sarge-3.1-mini.iso (downloaded from sarge
archive).  I manually adusted the mirrors to point to
archive.debian.org/debian-archive.debian. and installer found the
"Releases" file.

When it hit the installer page of "which...? stable, unstable..." it
couldn't find the files (presumably because directory structure changed
when it was archived).  I couldn't find a way to manually tell it files
to install.

I did a full of install of lenny (which is now up).

Anyone have any suggestions on how to:
	downgrade the running lenny  -or-
	how to install sarge directly?

any pointers appreciated.

I'm an experienced linux user, but new to Debian.  I'm coming from rpm
world of Fedora/RedHat/Centos so I'm new to apt,synaptic et all also.

BTW I certainly like everything I see so far about "debian".  The
developers certainly appear to "get it"

thanks in advance
