[plug] problems with woody upgrade

[I am the LinuxAlien]

I upgraded to woody at the workshop and had to stop the configuring of the 
packages as it was taking too long. when i got up yesterday morning I 
finished configuring them with the 'dpkg --configure -a' command as when i 
tried to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' thats what it told me to do. when I ran 
the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' after configuring the packages it wanted to 
download over 180 packages with about 130MB, why is this? and does that 
mean it isn't upgraded? I was runing potato.
Also my login prompt still says its debian 2.2 and Linux logo still says 
its kernel 2.2.19pre17
does this mean the kernel didn't upgrade?
