Greetings Larry & list-- Furher to David's post, LSL and NDISHLP are both used for Novell networking. I believe LSL stands for Link Socket Layer, and on the other I'm not sure beyond possibly ND=Novell Directory and, perhaps, S=Services (I=Indexing?) and HLP=Help on the other. In any case, I believe your error messages are a result of the command line before them attempting to execute when there is no Novell networking present. As David has pointed out, the generic CD driver may have been necessary to get the hardware to a point where it could utilize the CD-ROM, but may not be necessary any longer with the operating system installed.
