Getting time to do this now but, don't see an option 4
when boot to recovery mode. No menu whatsoever. Typing
xfix on command line says can't find command.  So how
do you get to option 4 xfix from the root prompt?

When I run dpkg-reconfig debconf now it only asks for
interface to use(chose interactive) and priority level
to use(from memory) whereas originally there were
configuration questions for several items to
configure.  Don't know how to get the original
configuration menu which makes things difficult to
sort out.  Any thoughts on this?
