According to the guy at the abovementioned website, "nolapic" is a command that it used to disable support for your local apic.

What is a local apic?

See here for a somewhat basic explanation:

Stuff that just doesn't work:
Ok now about this Synaptics Touchpad... how do I get DSL to use it correctly?  Upon activation (Selecting NO to the USB Mouse Option, otherwise it simply doesn't work) it quickly scrolls through the Workspaces.

Also does DSL support Hotplugging a.k.a. Plug N Play?  So far I have had no luck.

And there is a quick bar on the Presario 700 that controls volume and stuff.  Also no working.

Been scared to try the battery functions and or the suspend/sleep function.  Wait a sec... how DO I use the suspend/sleep????
