I would assume that the net install downloads the latest stableI just booted up the Sarge netinstall cd and the install has gone pretty much the same way as it did with the cd's from the set. The first part is very intuitive and the only difference so far has been that when it tells you to reboot it brings you right to the screen that asks you which components you would like to install rather than having to log in as root and doing the "# base-config" command.
If you already have the cd iso's downloaded you will save time by just
using them to install the additional components as I now have a few
hours before everything is downloaded to get kde, gnome etc... going
and the installer is more or less the same.
versions of KDE, Gnome, etc., which may be more recent than that which
is on the CD. Is that correct?
if by "stable" above, you're referring to debian stable, then no, sarge isn't in stable yet; sarge is in debian testing.
i believe that the sarge install grabs whatever is currently in debian testing, since that's where sarge is. when sarge becomes the stable branch, then a debian install will grab it from there.

Any recommendation as to whether it's better to follow "testing" or, "sarge" and then if you really want a package in testing to specify it with -t testing when you apt-get it?
