I've got an old XP laptop on the shelf, and I've got live CDs for Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04, but I can't figure out how to set the BIOS to boot from CD on startup, because it's a Sony VAIO, and the bottom right hand part of the screen is broken, so I can't see which keys to use from the BIOS menu ;-) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
