[LUG] Advent - Booting Kubuntu

 

Hi

I have been given an Advent computer that I would love to stick Linux
on. However, I cannot get to the boot sequence to tell it to boot of
cd rom. It ignores any key press and just goes straight into boot of
hard drive. So I stuck in a copy of Kubuntu thinling I could boot of
the disk and install from windows but it doesn't do it. I thought the
disks could be run as a live cd but it seems I have to actually boot
of it. Is there a way in Windows of getting it to run in live mode so
I can arrange the same please?

Thanks.
