The way I test Musix is if it will boot and run on a
very touch IBM
NetVista PC.  With Musix 0.50, I had tried for days to
come up with the
correct boot parameters for the CD to boot.  After
finding that and
documenting it for myself, I never had a problem
booting.

With Musix 1.0rc1, I had to do the same thing.  After
only 2 evenings, I
found this to work for me at the boot prompt:

boot: xorgmusix english dma lang=eng noapic acpi=off
nomce nopcmcia

Also, for booting and running from the CD, it is
better to have a lot of
memory.  I have 768MB, but booting from the CD and
running SEQ24,
Hydrogen, and ZynAddSubFX with 3 instruments causes
the PC to crash.
When I install Musix on a hard drive, it runs fine.

1) Spend time finding the correct boot options for
your PC
2) Make sure you have enough memory.  The CD is 700MB.
 Since some of
the CD decompresses into memory to run from a virtual
disk in RAM, you
shoul have at least 1GB RAM to do anything useful with
just booding from
the CD.
3) If you don't have a lot of memory in your PC,
install Musix on a hard
drive and try it from there.
