I just installed Automatix myself, it is probably the simplest way to
install all those extras. There is a mistake on the homepage about
running it though. If you type 'Automatix' you'll get a permission
denied error. It should be 'sudo Automatix'

Umm, I also notice that it makes an entry in your menu under 'System Tools'
but clicking on it is going to throw up the same 'permission denied' error.
I fixed it by opening the menu editor, locating the Automatix entry and
changing:

/usr/bin/Automatix

to

sudo /usr/bin/Automatix

And put a check mark in the 'Open in Terminal' box. That way you'll get a
prompt for your sudo password.
