Did you apt-get update before you tried apt-get dist-upgrade?
After looking through the Debian doco, I asked on #debian and someone gave me the run down.

The machine has been cobbled together from sus and old hardware just to fiddle with in spare time, so if it doesn't loose it's magic smoke, I'll be back to try it all again. I really, really, really should update my mailer {:-).
At least it is faring better than the Dell PPro that pissed me off the other day -> scrap metal {:-). Actually, the CD from it is in this one atm. The Acer 40=x CD was doing bouts of the Hokey Pokey to get attention (you put your cup holder in, you put your cup holder out, your put your cup holder in.....)
Thanks All - time for Dr Poo!
