Depends on what you get, though it will be very easy to make a mess of your
system. I
Would this routine also "downgrade" from unstable to testing?

Your sources.list must have testing repositories,i. e.
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
and you must issue:
apt-get update
If you want to use testing as the default release,
in apt.conf you should have a line
APT::Default-Release "testing";
I hope this helps
Yes. Change one of your entries in /etc/apt/sources.list from stable to
unstable, 'apt-get update', then 'apt-get install package_name'. Then change
your edited entry in /etc/apt/sources.list back to stable, and 'apt-get update'.
