Must admit, I was hoping to avoid that as I'm emailing from a different system and its going to be a bugger to type out. Hmm, perhaps its time to see if I can mount my usb flash drive... I'll post this to the list in a sec to see if you can spot a flaw. In between emails I added the unstable ftp.au.debian and then it did update debconf, (well its downloading now) so not sure if this will help or complicate matters.
