.....change my distro ... to debian sarge (netinstall).
.....on sarge net install I choose Testing (for nvlock, rtorrent and xorg 7).....

I've done several Debian installs. but I'm not sure from what you posted if you are running Sarge or Etch (testing). If you are not running Etch (testing) then I suggest that you look at it; Sarge will be retired this year and Etch will become the new stable, so it's certainly ready for use at this point. If you are running testing you should refer to it as Etch, not Sarge, as Sarge is the older "non-testing, stable" version, and your use of the name Sarge for testing is a point of confusion.

Glad to hear about another person who has left behind the problems of a Knoppix forced install for a real Debian install either way.
