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"

When the laptop is turn on just hit the key that tells you to enter the
system BIOS, should be F2, F1, Del(Supr), F11, F12, I surely don't remember
the exact key for Acer based computers, but perharps the ones I gave should
do it.
