Only three, OK. In that case I wonder if I still dare to ask what to
write to the Repositories window to make it work for me. I tried:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-update main restrected,
but this didn't work :-o

I'm definitely interested in helping out. Two things make me hesitate:
the lack of time to do enough to really be helpfull and the fact that I
actually don't understand enough of anything to be able to document. On
the other hand the best way to find out would be to try :-)
