Don't mind Dan C.

He is only trolling to get some, like ANY, response and attention.
You should not take what he say personally. He is rude to everyone,
so just ignore him.

If you are going to upgrade to a new Debian/stable, you HAVE to read
the release documentation. It is usally not hard to do a dist-
upgrade, but some things is usally needed to be done in right order to
have a good dist-upgrade experience.

Search for booting in single mode. You should stop before starting X.
I don't remember how to boot to single mode, but you should be able to
get a rescue mode from standard Debian installation CD.

Good luck
