Ok, this is a good one.
I ran a recent apt-get dist-upgrade to complete the upgrade needed
to fully bring my slink system up to potato. Since then, I have noticed
some very strange activity on my system. Every time I run an apt-get
anything (update, upgrade, etc), the following happens:

Mainly because my /dev/hda is a large drive (17 gigs) and I do not want to
risk replacing
my win98 MBR, etc, even though I have backups of everything, having to
reload it all would
be a royal pain, abd quite time consuming. Since BIOS supports booting

I ended up creating a good (I think) sources.list file for apt-get ftp,
so I wanted to share it with the group in case it could benefit anyone
