Any idea how to get into the bios of this laptop to make it boot off the CD? I'm trying to install puppy on it.

Thanks

From what I read from a Google search, F10 brings up the BIOS menu. You can select the boot device from there. If you don't have a boot from CDROM option, it won't boot from CD, no matter what OS you try.
