apt-setup would not accept the above settings - played around a bit and edited  
/etc/apt/sources.list which now looks like this :


deb file:/mnt/setup/   dists/woody/main/binary-i386/
deb file:/mnt/setup/   dists/woody/contrib/binary-i386/

apt-setup is happy and so am I.

update-modutils not on my machine - so I rebooted and played around - 2 reboots and eth0 is up and 
working I can now ping my network.

Thanks for the help Cameron, now it's time for more reading and learning until I get something else 
wrong.

Might even try getting some sleep.
