Additionally, I opened the wine site you included and it said to open System>Administration>Software Sources.  Under System Settings the choice Computer Administration did not have Software Sources.  Under System in the Kmenu, there was no Software Sources listed.  I found an application called KPackageKit that has the appropriate source lists and am installing it including the key right now.  It acts like it is hanging at 99% on file 62 of 64.  It has been there for 3 or 4 minutes so far.  I am aprehensive of stopping the process in case things are happening in the background.  Also, I am not sure I would know what to do if I stopped the process.  I suppose it would be to import the Key file again, I just don't know.

It still seems to be hanging on 62 of 64.  I am not sure if I am 
installing wine right now or the key.  What should I do.  It has been 
over 5 minutes on that stage of installation?
