I seem to remember that I got some File Not Found errors when I did the
first update, and I remember someone on the list saying that security updates
were only available for the current stable release, so I commented out those
entries. I don't suppose it would hurt anything to leave them in, it just
seemed more efficient to not go after file listings that weren't going to be
there anyway.
