Re: Need help with installing Debian on a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716
look at the compaq web site, it has online manuals for almost all machines.
Typically for compaq, it boots, tests memory, beeps twice, puts the cursor
into the upper right hand corner, and at that time you should press F10 to
enter BIOS.
Also, most compaqs w/in the last 5 years will boot to CDrom, so just put a
bootable debian disk in and try it, it is an effortless way to install!

It is a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716. The problem is that this machine shows a
big red Q at startup and no BIOS info. I therefore do not know which
keys to press to access the BIOS in order to turn on CD-ROM booting. It
currently boots from floppy first before hard disc.
