I'm trying to to use the updated ATI drivers and the instruction tell me to
Enable "restricted" Repository
Make sure the restricted repository is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list or this guide will not work!
System > Administration > Software Sources. Check "Proprietary Drivers for Devices (Restricted)" box.

When I look in the the location suggested, there is no "Software Sources" option available.  Any other way to Enable the restriction?

Thanks for any HELP given

See here for details; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine

Login to to your core at the console then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to incorporate the restricted repository. Save that change and then do;

sudo apt-get update

now you should be set to follow the instructions to update your ATI drivers

Hope this helps
