Bug Description
See https:/
Summary: The procedure for installing restricted formats and non-free software is currently far too complex and is a show stopper for many people as neither mp3, dvd's, flash, many video-codecs or java is supported on a fresh ubuntu-install.
In short, the problem can be addressed by adding a sort of "do you want to install non-free software and support for restricted formats"-question to the installation process. If the user answers "yes", the installer should take care of installing all commonly used formats/software.
The question could include comments on legal stuff such as "the software may be illegal in your country" and "the ubuntu team is not responsible for any the installed non-free packages".
