Someone in the Ubuntu forum posted this. But almost everything I add gives me errors so I'm guessing most of it's outdated.

edit: I had removed the lenny and sid repos because I didn't know what they were. Problem solved.
Unless you wanted to run Sid instead of Etch, adding those repos actually bought you big problems. Typical newbie foolishness, though. By the time you understand how those repos work, you'll be ready to reinstall anyway.
