I suppose that you have your own reasons for going this route, but
I'll mention anyhow, that rather than using the Stable installer and
upgrading to Testing, I've been using the Testing (Sarge) Beta
Installer, and have Debian installed on four different machines
without any trouble. If you do this, you don't have to go through the
trouble of installing Woody and then doing an upgrade--unless you want
to install Testing and then upgrade to Unstable--which is what I've
been doing.
