You'll also need to do an apt-get update... Here's my sources.list, which
may help people on the list too:
<!-- start sources.list -->
# Debian
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
# Source archives
deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
# Security archive - doesn't work in unstable?
#deb http://security.debian.org unstable updates
# Helix GNOME

#deb ftp://ftp.helixcode.com/helix/evolution/distributions/Debian ./

As you can see, I've commented a few out after being stuck with a 56k modem!
You should be able to replace all of the unstables with stable, then run
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
Again, you'll need to change slink to potato or stable if you want Debian
2.2.
