Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers help running Knoppix Post 51589 by zazzybob on Monday 24th of May 2004 04:43:15 PM

This is the problem with a lot of pre-built machines, they have fast POST sequences, normally hidden by some kind of corporate logo that stops you seeing the actual post sequence.

You'll need to try and hit Del (or F1, F10, whatever) almost immediately after you hit the power switch (i.e. whilst the "Dell" screen is present"). Just keep hammering Del (or F1, F10 whatever) and the BIOS config util will appear.

Cheers
