Debian question

Folks, I have a question regarding a Debian install.
First seeing as I have little hope of correcting the problems with my  
current Sid install as I can't get speech from Speakup, I am  
considering reinstalling Sarge.
What I was wondering is how possible would it be to simply install  
over the current Sid installation. My thinking is that I can keep a  
number of apps that were previously working with Sarge before  
upgrading to Sid and most if not everything would be replaced when I  
install Sarge. I know this is probably an insane approach, but I of  
course would rather figure out why Speakup hangs while probing for  
the DoubleTalk external. I do not have another synth to connect so I  
have to use this one. It was working fine before I upgraded to the  
latest version of Sid and even replacing Lilo with Grub did not  
correct the problem. It also seems to matter little what kernel I'm  
running as I even grabbed a 2.6.13 and brewed a new kernel.
Sure am lost on this one, but before I do get into this install, I  
thought I'd ask a few questions and maybe avoid loads of setting up  
again.
I know wishfull thinking.

Scott
