Hi Jim,

The errors say that it can't resolve
switch.dl.sourceforge.net
I tried hitting those URLs from a browser on my smartphone and I get a 404.

Where the instructions say :

>>
.. add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://<mirror>.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jedit /

e. g.

deb http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jedit /

I assume you can choose a different mirror. 'switch.dl.sourceforge.net' is
either temporarily down, or decommissioned.

Where the list of mirrors is, I don't know, but "heanet.dl.sourceforge.net"
is up and works for me. Some others, like aarnet, jaist and kent don't seem
to work.

Heanet is pretty reliable, but unless you're based in Ireland, it probably
won't be the quickest one for you.
