    i recently bought an AOD 250, 10.1 inch model, running xp.

    i would like to run linux on it as well, but when i start up, it does not have the F12 option, that would let me select the USB drive to boot up off

    there is a F2 function, which allows me to change boot order etc, but is a bit more complicated than just hitting the F12 and selecting the boot device

    is there a way of enabling the F12 at startup, or do i have to update the BIOS and if so how ?

    tks
