This file had some corel related stuff that gave errors with apt-get
update.  We #'d them and added the above.

We get an error that an update to xmms is needed that apt-get cannot
find a source for.  xmms appears to be a winamp type package.  Anyone
have any ideas where we can find this package - or can we force an
install without it.  We don't really need winamp unless it breaks
other things to force an install without it.

Thanks
