Hi, I'm getting the error 'ACPI is disabled because BIOS is from 00 and is too old. You can enable it with acpi=force.' How do I do this? Thank you.

Put "acpi=force" as a boot code in syslinux.cfg

In which directory can you find the syslinux.cfg file; I have tried searching for it with the 'find' command but with no success; thank you.

The answer depends on how you are booting DSL.
If you have a boot prompt then

boot: dsl acpi=force

If no boot prompt then how are booting and how did you install?
What boot loader did you choose? It could be lilo.conf or menu.lst, or syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg or pendrive.bat, etc...
