reinstall Linux

I am trying to reinstall Linux on a machine which already has Linux. It's an Intel Machine (DELL). I want to boot it from the CD but for some reason, I don't get the F2 or F12 for setup. It directly takes me to the welcome thing.
What do I need to do

CMOS SETUP? Try DEL (not DELL). Or check with DELL (yes DELL) for the specific model you are using.
