You are supposed to enter a line that has this kind of structure:

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free

What you probably want to do is to download the apprpriate deb package. 
For example:

ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/8.04/mondo_2.2.7_i386.deb

Please select the one you need, don't take the above line literally.

Then double click on the saved deb file to install it.

If you need help to restore your original sources.lst, then tell us.
