fai install problem: dhcp3-client config file

Hi all,
After working through many problems getting fai setup this problem has
me totally stumped ;(.
Everything appears to go smoothly until after the additional packages
get installed. It bombs out by complaining about the existance of
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.
I have tried many things such as removing the package/config files
before beginning the setup again but without success...
Below I have listed the few lines where the error actually happens.
Note that I don't get a chance to fill in Y/N/D/Z, it gives the error
immediately.
I've also included the config file and the entire output of fai-setup
below.
Thanks in adv,
Eoin.
====================The Immediate Error===========================
Configuration file `/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
