SCP help?

Thanks to a tip from Jos? I was able to tweak my settings for
randomization and it worked:

Try use a best entropy source.
This could be fixed using /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random.
To do this, rename the /dev/random device to /dev/random_bak (mv
/dev/random /dev/random_bak)
and make a symbolic link of urandom to random (ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random)

Thanks to your tip Michael - I've just also backed up my sources.list
for after I flash!
