so perhaps it was a little too good to be true. i only just tried
rebooting and it hangs when 'Configuring network interfaces...' Damn! Not
sure how to solve this now, since I can't actually successfully boot the
machine.

it freakin worked!! cheers :) what does this imply?
Yes, that was what i was getting at in suggesting you use the Networking
GUI only for this (kind of) task. The command line hacking of config
files will only muck you up, because these are written, on the fly, by
the GUI.
Try selecting the 'recovery mode' boot, which gives you a login - use
root. Then enter:
# startx
to start Gnome. Start the Networking GUI, deactivate eth0. Then you
should be able to reboot normally. Only use the Networking app for
changing your settings, which will be a very simple process this way..
