 | Great!

:D The live CD is there, now the livd-dvd is going up

Not into the Live-DVD kernel, but yes into the _installed_ Live-DVD system. 
But, anyway, yo can install linux-image-2.6.23-rt1 anytime, it's easy

apt-get update

apt-get install linux-image-2.6.23-rt1

Next testing releases (not 1.0 ones) of Musix will have multiluns (that's what 
makes SD reading possible) enabled

Fantastic... I really like it, and I have a duron 1800 , 384 RAM, I prefer rox 
than xfe or konqueror sometimes, to look for something faster, using markers

 | Yes. I'll just have to see if I have the same problem under Test 5...

maybe yes: I was experimenting ramdom behavior of dhcp... It would be easy for 
you to modify some startup script and add simple: dhclient

If not, as root run: dhclient, or

sudo dhclient as normal user.

Or add sudo dhclient to ~/Autostart/start.sh 

echo -n "sudo dhclient&" >> ~/Autostart/start.sh

 | I can't find it on test 4- you mean its in Test 5 CD or on Test 5 DVD?

It's installed by default on almost any Musix version, test4 has it too:

apt-cache policy traverso
traverso:
  Installed: 0.30.0
  Candidate: 0.30.0
  Version table:
 *** 0.30.0 0
        500 ftp://musix.ourproject.org ./ Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

You can use the Audio desktop, or (at icewm) press the [Windows key]+ [Space 
Bar] and type traverso, or open a konsole and type traverso

 | I will - I would hope to see vlc, DeVeDe, xdtv (xawdecode), winff and
 | maybe even KDEnlive 0.6(cvs) on the DVD- are they included?

No, sorry: only VLC and kdenlive, but not this 0.6 version, 0.4 from debian 
multimedia (anyway, you can upgrade your hole system if you want to but): 
Musix 1.0 is a very stable system, not a bleeding edge one;  I started the 
migration to debian/testing because of this, just today, to get more up to 
date software,  debian/testing derivated versions will not be out there so 
soon 

The 1.0 age is not finished yet for us.

Anyway, you can use Cinelerra if kdenlive 0.4 does not fits your needs, or you 
can use Kino

 | How about hypermammut, by the author of ZynAddSubFX Paul Nasca- it
