It means the BIOS should initialize integrated peripheral hardware rather than the OS (iow no "Plug and Pray"). No big deal btw, as the only integrated peripheral HW to be set up this way comprises the OPL3 soundcard and the serial and parallel ports. >From another perspective, as your Libby is apparently not at fault, is your CD-ROM player OK? If your Linux setup remains problematic, just transplant your HD to another desktop and install Linux there. Do not reboot yet. Install XFree86, specify Neomagic NM 2160 and some default resolution, but do not boot into graphics mode yet. Let Linux reboot for the first time with the HD back in the Libretto. >From then on you can setup Linux further using Harddrake (Mandrake) or vasm (VL). P.
