Is there a FAQ on how to change the /etc/apt/sources.list to unstable?
Just edit it with your favorite editor (I use nano); you'll probably have about three lines in it, like so:
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
Leave the "security" line alone, but duplicate the other two, and change the word "stable" to "unstable", like so:
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free # <-- new line
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free # <-- new line
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
(The preferred sources should be listed first.) Now run "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get dist-upgrade", and you should be in business.
