Hi Steven.

Assuming that you are connected to the Internet on this machine, pasting the 
following into KDE's Konsole, (may have to press the "Enter" key after the 
paste), then giving your user password should get things going.

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list 
--output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

If that has gone OK, click on the "Home" icon, next to the big "K" on the 
panel, which will open Dolphin. On the the left, click on "Root" (red 
rectangle), then in the centre, click on etc, then apt, then sources.list.d. 
You should now see, what is a new file, named, medibuntu.list. Click on that, 
and you will see 4 lines of text. The third line is the one that gives you 
access to the medibuntu repo. When you run apt-get update next, this line 
will be used to gain access to the medibuntu repo, and the package list for 
the packages available from this repo, will be downloaded to your machine.

You still need to install the GPG keyring for the medibuntu repo, otherwise 
you will not be able to install packages from that repo. To do that run the 
following command.

sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring

You should now be able to install packages from the medubuntu repo, 
libdvdcss2, for example.

All the best.

Nigel.
