Tony,

I thought I had done that and still got the same error,
but I obviously did not make that correction because
I just tried your suggestion and that error is now
fixed.

I commented out all the http://www.fbriere.net
and http://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu lines

I'm still getting an error
Failed to fetch http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/dapper-seveas/Release 
Unable to find expected entry all/binary-powerpc/Packages in Meta-index 
file (malformed Release file?)
Reading package lists... done
D: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead,

Thank you for catching the typo!
