In terms of a relatively standard install from a CD- that is booting from a CD or DVD Rom , the steps would be as follows:

First of all this process of booting from a CD Rom is probably the best as well as overall simplest option available.   If you do have a IDE or Sata CD-Rom first change the boot order of the startup to handle this.  Go into your bios setup .  Chose the CD Rom as the first boot device in the boot up sequence.

To enter the bios , note on the initial startup screen the key choices or strokes to “enter the bios”  or “enter the control panel”.   With today’s fast computers this may flash by you in a whiz and may have to be repeated several times.   It is usually the delete key.  Other choices include the <F2> . <F10> or >F12> keys alone or in sequence.   Be careful not to initiate a windows reoovery process by this means , although if you are doing a full hard drive Linux install this will not be of concern.  If you cannot determine what the keystroke or keystroke combination to enter your brand or model of bios – then Google “commands to enter bios”, “Commands to enter bios of your model”  , “How to get into the bios”  and “how to get into the bios of model x”  or even “I cannot get into my bios….model”.  At the worst take out a piece of hardware such as a ram stick , or disconnect a piece of hardware onyour motherboard.

On boot up your computer will recognize that the hardware configuration has changed and will enter its bios in order for you to rectify the situation.

Once in you should be able either spot the setting page simply by ” change boot order sequence” , or find a setting in the bios settings.   Failing that hunt around diligently under the hood.  Simpler on some computer bios models – there may be an additional keystroke choice simply marked “change boot order sequence”

On the other side of the fence Linux is used in any of a large number of stand alone electronic appliances applications  in a manner that many would never realize or even care that Linux is running their device be it cell phone.  Linux may well be running your car or SUV, the controls or any of a number of the expensive options that were in your automobile when you purchased it from your auto dealer.

Here is a partial list taken from the authoritative proof source “Wikipedia”

Due to its low cost and ability to be easily modified, an embedded Linux is often used in embedded systems. Linux has become a major competitor to the proprietary Symbian OS found in the majority of smartphones — 16.7% of smartphones sold worldwide during 2006 were using Linux^[43] — and it is an alternative to the proprietary Windows CE and Palm OS operating systems on mobile devices. Cell phones or PDAs running on Linux and built on open source platform became a trend from 2007, like Nokia N810, Openmoko’s Neo1973, Motorola RAZR2 v8, Motorola ROKR E8, Motorola MING series, Motorola ZINE and the on-going Google Android. The popular TiVo digital video recorder uses a customized version of Linux.^[44] Several network firewall and router standalone products, including several from Linksys, use Linux internally, using its advanced firewall and routing capabilities. The Korg OASYS and the Yamaha Motif XS music workstations also run Linux.^[45] Furthermore, Linux is used in the leading stage lighting control system, FlyingPig/HighEnd WholeHogIII Console.^[46]
