Hello Acer (4520) Ubuntu User/Experts

My friend wants to replace the poor Linpus with Ubuntu 7.10 !
I have prepared him the CD with the respective Ubuntu version ;-)

How do we get to the BIOS to set booting from CD before HDD ???

Try Google.

My google search revealed this as the first result of a search for "acer bios"
