[Dclug] installing linux on a dell gx260

[Phil Shapiro]

hi dclug community,

   i'm trying to install ubuntu onto a dell gx260, but the bios is not letting
me change the boot sequence.  when i press the spacebar to activate the cd-rom
drive (or press the plus sign to move it up the boot sequence) nothing happens.

    i've tried two different keyboards.

      is there perhaps a way to reset the bios on these computers?

               phil
