setting up acpi for dell inspirion 1100 bios a29
 

Hello this is my first time installing Linux and I am completely lost. I have installed Fedora core Linux build 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl. I have an inspiron 1100 laptop and acpi isn't working at all I have tried reading as much stuff as I can and I am lost. if someone knows how to configure acpi to function I would be very happy.

Thanks
