you need to go into the apt sources list and add the marillat sources list site to your list, I use a version of Knoppix called medialinux which has mplayer installed, it also seems to have been cleaned up so that apt-getting is more stable than knoppix, I was able to install and upgrade packages without any of the problems I had with knoppix....one note of caution, some of the sources are for experimental packages.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
