Yeah, that is the normal way to change to sid. IOW, you don't install
sid.
Start with Sid in the first place:
Aptosid.com.
Upgraded Sid
on my desktop machine today, 440+ upgraded packages,
and it works flawlessly.
Ouch, you are living on the edge there.
Nah, I used to mix sid, experimental and deb-multimedia ...
Hope you aren't just
haphazzardly upgrading and expecting everything to just work!
This time it worked. I usually just upgrade what I'm interested in. But
I always prep for it by making an image of my system partition first.
