After looking at /etc/apt/sources.list I could see that they are in fact 
there just commented out. That'd be becasue the installation didn't find 
the network. Stupid default behaviour if you ask me - as soon as I go 
online it should try and update, but with that default behaviour it just 
insists that ot is up-to-date.

Anyway, fixed now, thanks for the help.
