How to get my Suse computer to automaticly boot from bootable CD's.


Right now my Acer Travelmate 402 lap top has Open Suse installed on it. How do I get my computer to check my CD drive for bootable CD's first, and if there is one in it, to automaticly boot it? Thanks,




Josh.

Change the boot priority (order) in your bios.

no fan of laptops-can't reconstruct 'em without bits left over! you do know how to enter the bios and 'edit' it? While start up runs at first, hold down either: Del,F2,F10 and then go to 'advanced settings' then it should be clear. Don't blame you for wanting to put a decent version of linux on the thing.
