In the bios setting for halt on what is it best to set it at?
No errors, all errors, all, but keyboard, all, but diskette, or all but disk/key? Thanks.

Another question about integrated peripherals. Do I want usb keyboard and mouse support enabled or disabled? What would this do? I have a usb keyboard. And what about onboard serial ports. Should you go auto or what they have as default. Same question with parallel port and midi port address, irq, and cir port. Just curious if I should go with default?

I usually set "halt on all errors except kb". If you have a printer on the parallel port, set it to ECP, if not leave at standard. Default choices for midi port are usually fine.
