How to use Easy Ubuntu

   - Read #General Notes<http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#General_Notes>
   - Easy Ubuntu is a small straight-forward utility that allows novice
   users to easily install a wide variety of content for Ubuntu such as media
   codecs, fonts, Macromedia Flash and Sun Java.

jimi@ubuntujimi:~$ tar -zxf easyubuntu-3.023.tar.gz
jimi@ubuntujimi:~$ cd easyubuntu
jimi@ubuntujimi:~/easyubuntu$ sudo python easyubuntu.in
Password:

codename()))

Someone at the Egdy Ubuntu Guide Forum responded to this with:

"The PLF repository for Ubuntu has closed, so a lot of the links are now
invalid."

The PLF web page doesn't say it's closed. I can read all the directories and
files and there is an edgy directory for easyubuntu

http://packages.freecontrib.org/plf/dists/edgy-plf/non-free/binary-i386

So what do you think now?
