Running Knoppix as a production scares the hell out of me. I would suggest changing to all Unstable sources lines and then doing and dist-upgrade, but that is just me. In the meantime, since Knoppix is a complete hodgepodge it probably would do no harm to add the following line to your sources.list file... deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main Then do an apt-get update. The do apt-get isntall of one of the packages below that fits your architecture. mplayer-386 mplayer-686 mplayer-k6 mplayer-k7 I then would recommend and apt-get install of the following: mplayer-doc mplayer-fonts If you want mplayer embedded in mozilla you can apt-get install mplayer-mozilla as well. Hope that helps. -Derek P.S. IMHO installing Knoppix is a bad idea, it was designed to be a demo distribution not a production hard disk install. I strongly suggest installing Woody if you like Debian and let backports.org become your friend. That or run Sid and install apt-listchanges and apt-listbugs.
