Here is what the /etc/apt/sources.list has in it:


#deb cdrom:[apc cd3 debian 3.0r1]/ pool/
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 
(20021218)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US
/main

deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free


Notice the unstable reference in the CD line at the top.
I put the Oz servers in during installation and it did seem
to go off and check them at the time and get some lists.
