			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be It can said that it is always easiest once you know how.<br />
The same can be said for Linux installs &#8211; be they from a CD , DVD flash memory drive or in the case of smaller Linux distros even from a 1 mb diskette.<br />
One of the problems that many encounter works out to changing the boot order of their computer.  If you computer has been set to start fast by booting first from the hard drive and your install is from a cd or dvd rom you are out of luck.  It is not as if windows is going to let you erase it when it is running.<br />
How do you change the boot order<br />
Well if possible you could wipe out the hard drive and if no OS is on the hard drive and the optical drive is set down the line as the next or 2nd next startup device then you might be ok<br />
Generally you change the startup order in the bios of your computer<br />
The bios is  program which is permanently etched onto a read only memory on your motherboard<br />
It controls how the computer starts up and in what sequence<br />
When your computer starts look quickly on the bottom of the screen for  instructions labeled &#8211; setup , controls or something like that<br />
It usually will list the command as &#8220;del&#8221;  or a function key<br />
With fast new Pentium 4 computers the startup may be very rapid so read quickly and as well you may have to repeat the sequence more than once.<br />
If not try various keystroke commands and function key combinations<br />
Once into the bios look and hunt around for startup options or menu. It may be buried one level down even on startup options<br />
Change the order so that CD or DVD is above ( starts before ) the  hard drive<br />
It can be diskette then cd/ dvd or  cd/dvd first<br />
Once done , save and exit ( usually F10 function key 10)<br />
You cannot do too much harm in the bios<br />
At the worst reset to factory defaults , save and your computer should always run<br />
However note IBM computers PCs since they are first business machines often have a default start of &#8220;network&#8221; rather than diskette or CD.<br />
At the worst if you are totally locked out of your bios , or a mean computer store ( to get you back for service)  placed a password on the bios<br />
&gt; take the power cord out of the computer , (turned off of course) , remove the cover of the computer , and take out the bios backup battery which primarily looks like a watch battery.<br />
Your bios will be reset back to original factory defaults. You will have to set the clock when the computer boots up.<br />
You are now in a position where your computer will boot up from your optical drive and your can start and complete your Linux install.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In earlier days of Linux and a Linux install your choices would of been less when it came to start a Linux installation process.   These would of been:</p>
<p>-  booting from a CD</p>
<p>- starting from DOS</p>
<p>-  or even using actual 3.5 or even 5 1/4 inch older format floppy discs</p>
<p>now with more modern , more up to date and powerful computers the options have increased with the advent of integrated powered USB drives.</p>
<p>As well the actual size of the installation program and programs have increased greatly in size , functions and overall complexity.</p>
<p>Wit these powered USB hubs, and the wrath of new available media , that has also come down vastly in price while increasing exponentially in sizes have increased the options of boot devices for installs as well as the overall Linux install convenience.   These include &#8211; flash drives , external cd/dvd drives to a great degree ( if will work when powered up and attached to the booting computer- not all seem to be supported , there does not seem to a CD/ DVD reader standard for this ) , flash drives , other flash memory formats such as SD and &#8220;Flash &#8221; cards if a reader is built into the computer or a usb based convertor available, and external USB hard drives , or even other hard drives attached to the IDE or Sata connectors on the  computer motherboards.</p>

<p>Of course the correct or appropriate boot device must be chosen in the bios of the computer on which the Linux distro is to be installed.</p>
