Hi, Jim



The apt sources you mentioned can be enabled using the synaptic
package manager. Goto the settings menu in synaptic and click on repositories
from that menu - will allow you to do what you want to do.



Here are the
stanzas from my apt sources.list file i think you are after:





deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
warty main restricted  



deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe
  



deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted
 







Hope this helps..
