    well for me, playmidi gives the error:
    Code:
     open /dev/sequencer: No such device or address
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think knoppix autoconfigures the WAV output of the soundcard only, not the MIDI part, because why else would /dev/sequencer not be configured?

    I've been trying to find out how to get /dev/sequencer configured also, if anybody knows the secret...

    for a hd installed setup.
    apt-get install timidity
    will install the software to emulate midi thru the sound's cards wave.
    (there's no midi chip on most motherboards with ac97 sound chip built in....)

    if booting off a cd you'll have to look up how to install software.
    it's here somewhere in one of the forums.....
    Install timidity then you should be able to use playmidi.

    I have the same pb with MIDI,
    I am unable to boot with the ALSA cheatcode
    So I am under OSS
    Is timidity compatible with OSS, or does it work only with ALSA?

    tanx in advance

    I was wrong.....
    try:
    timidity /my_music_path_/my_song.mid
    after installing timidity.
    I knew I played a midi song a few days before....
    I have ALSA.
    I'm still figureing out how to do quite a few things still.
