I have installed the slack 13.37 version of Salix. Every thing was configured properly and running. It is a bit slow on my old Sony laptop but all I can expect out of this machine.
When I boot the computer up there is a warning "Bios older than 2001". It states bios is 2000 and need FORCE=apci
Is that something I need to add somewhere? Is that why the computer will not turn off? It just machine halted and then just sits there without turning off.
Thanks Kelean.

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.

Thanks for the help. I added "acpi=force" to my lilo.conf file and now it will shut down as it should.
