If you're running unstable, you can safely live without an apt.conf in
most cases.  You should NOT attempt pinning with unstable, and it's
redundant to set the default distro to the newest version apt knows
about.

Okay.


Then I ran base-config again and added another source. But that
source was again for testing, I had to change it back again. How do
I tell base-config to add sources for unstable and not insist on
testing?


Don't use base-config.

:) Okay.

But wonder if you could explain more. Is it too buggy to be used? Something wrong with it? Not that I want to use it, just for knowledge's sake. And also somethign I will take care of while installing Debian distros on my friends' comps.

Thanks,
