Hi Tim

That worked for getting the repos working. However 2 many issues in the 64 bit 
version of ubuntu. nvidia installer asks for lib6-dev to be installed but 
it's not in the repos. Other progs in repos complain that depenencies are not 
satifiable, etc. In short I've decided to go back to a 32 bit version though 
I suspect I may end up with the cd issue again, i.e. unable to read it due to 
it being on the third ide master. Luckily I have an external burner as well 
that reads fine
